With his popular song, Long Tongue, Cletus ‘Halibut’ Abraham pushed 19 other hopefuls out of the way to win the three-year old NCCU Cadence-lypso competition for the second time.
Abraham won the competition in its debut year in 2011. However, he missed last year’s event which was won by Webster ‘De Webb Marie’.
This year, De Webb placed 3rd while Shirley Charles took the first runner-up position in the contest which was held on Saturday evening, October 19, at New Town Savannah.
Meanwhile, Leona Peters of Anse De Mai, emerged winner of the 2013 QTS competition which was also held on Saturday evening at the Arawak House of Culture.
She beat 10 other participants to capture the coveted title.
Delma Daniel of Pichelin took the second spot, Stevaughn Morancie of Fond Cole placed third and Earl White from Bense came fourth.
Other finalists were Tronnel Pacquette, Rosette Joseph, Rhea Lloyd, Kadeen Etenne, Jerd Dorsette, Jasmine Laville, Hannah Massicot.
anyone knows where i can find a video of the show or a video of the winner
thanks
DNO, you have the facts wrong. Firstly, this is the second year of the NCCU Cadence competition. Webster Marie won last year. The first time Cletus Abraham won was in 2005, but it was not held by the NCCU.
QTS is a waste, the thing looks foreign sounds foreign , especially at independence time. it seems the organizers comes from a different planet
Congrats to to winners and runner-ups…Job well done.
Congrats to Bense/Anse-de-Mai/Anse-Soldat on placing 1st and 4th! Whoo!
QTS should be at a different time of year. The songs that are sung at not original, not local and no where near our culture.
Well done Halibut. I
I love that song. Irvinia need to give her tongue a vacation.
@car boost jealousy is a sin ,hater give her a break ,go and sing too nuh
I myself have 6 tongues and extremely deadly:
The Frenchman tongue, the I man deceptive tongue, the speaking in tongues tongue, the special tongue, the Bajan tongue and the woman tongue.
If at first you don’t succeed TRY TRY again!!!! Congratulations to you Leona…. Mrs. Cadette, will really have to let your colleagues come to Creole in the Park on Tuesday to hear you…
Hardworking pays off…. AVRS Team is proud…
Congrats to Earl also
Congrats! To Leona and Earl you guys made the community of Bense, Anse de mai, Anse soldat proud, meaning we feel great that you all could display such talent. We are aware that competition was tight and everyone tried their best. But you stood out, so cut out the negative vibes and give those young people a break.
well congrats, it is a good song. however being creole festival time, i feel they should of picked a song that was sung in our creole language as winner.
“Should have”, not “should of”.
Any news on the Ti Matador? The little girls all did a splendid job! Don’t leave them out please!!!
I think Massacre took the crown… It was a great show……
Harley Butt? or Harlibut? We all knew him as Harlibut for over 30 years. The Curry Rest Rd. Feller.
Its actually Halibut
Admin: Thanks

good job
Congrats to harley Butt…….. for putting forward a Cadence Lypso song…. This year many artists had groovy soca songs, calypso songs…. They forgot or actually ignored the fact that it was a cadence lypso competition
I agree. some of the songs were clearly not in the cadence genre. I think the organizers should define some guidelines for participants.
Congratulations Halibut! Your song makes me dance when I hear it. Some true lyrics in there.
Harley congrats on winning the title last night you rock the crowd you so did not lie in your song about does long tough i hope they get the message clear. The part i love the most is one tough to bring you up and the other to bring you down that is what makes human tough so very long some toughs to dangerous
Ghetto girl the word is tongue….
Congratulations Harley Butt, you are the best. King of cadence and cadence-lypso
