The law firm of Duncan G Stowe has presented gifts worth more than $3,000 to winners of the 2014 female calypso monarch held at the Sisserou hotel in conjunction with Stardom Tent.
Convent High School student, Janae Jackson, with her composition “Convent Rules” was the winner of this year’s competition.
She was awarded a cheque of five hundred dollars and a Samsung Galaxy S4. Second place winner, Alisha Ducreay received four hundred dollars and Shirlyn “Sugar S” Dangleben, who placed third, got 300.00 dollars. Janae also awarded her cash winnings from Christopher Dangleben of Stardom management.
Duncan Stowe, a former national calypso judge and junior calypso monarch who is at present a calypso analyst. ” I am pleased to be associated with the female calypso show and stardom and this is just a small token of my contribution to winners of the artform, ” he stated.
Janae, for her part, said she was very happy and thankful for the presentations from Stardom and Stowe. “It’s a form of encouragement for me and since I am a totally different person calypso helps me to express my feelings on stage and I am thankful and love that,” she said.
Waypapa. Just be grateful for a good deed, my fellow Dominicans
shame on BOBBB and PATTTTT and mass camp for putting their selfish ego before leona , what a shame , what a shame , what a shame …..
Duncan u and carlisle need to apologize to Dice & Pat for what u said about his song, look he won the crown in flying colors.
Pro-UWP judges!!!
At least Duncan is giving a little something back from the millions that going around from the sale of our heritage and identity. What about the others that’s in the business for years? Where are their contributions?
I love to listen to Duncan especially when he analyses the calypsos. I learn so much from him. This man is a genius where this particular art form is concerned. Congratulations Duncan You, YES YOU, are one of the honest and fearless patriots. May God bless you.
Dominican before you criticize make a contribution like Duncan!!!!!!!Duncan is one Dominican who is Calypso to the bone. Hi chien mein dit dent blanc….He is a genuine calypso lover…
His agenda is too see calypso grow unlike some whose main aim is to kill calypso with greed and selfishness.
Tell me why Leona could not have been getting a contribution too in addition to what Swinging stars would have given her.I hope she learns from her mistake and don’t let selfish men bring her down while they climbing the ladder.
Duncan kudos… Dominican too the bone. Love you buddy!!!! Who vex burst the ceiling lolooloollll
All well and good. However, it should not be so limited. What about the overall calypsos: the crowd favorites like the China Man, the contoversials, the best presentation, the best written calypso like the Krisbies. Prize for the old faithful, like the Pickies. Tonneh man! What is a mean $3,000, when your pocket is too big for the laundry. One page of a single passport cost close to $10,000.
I am not Against Man and I don’t want to chew your pocket, even when those who don’t have allow me to. I am just a matador.
Duncan what about Pat Aaron award.
That’s a good one.
Who vex lost.Duncan do your thing at list you are not a part pay keep it up.all for the love of calypso.show them calypso is bigger than us.
With all your heavy back sway why don’t you make youself COMPLETE instead of being part man, part woman. Surgical procedures is expensive but you know where you can go for finace. Remove the jacket and choose your right lipstick. Mark! Oh!
Good gesture, Duncan and Stardom. Dangles, good to see you.
Great, Duncan.
Come on Dominica the money is not worth the value all you can do better. Read about other countries pay outs to their stars this includes cars etc etc. We need to stop acting like country bookies and malawe, s. My God do we have to present DA as a backward country like that. Pay the musicians, singers, entertainers, expose them tell the world what we have to offer push our music talents everybody getting there we still behind Gods back. As far as I recalled we have moved on from using other peoples road march let us begin to enjoy Dominican goodies and by that raise the monies. PS please do not blaime the PMother people raise funds ie arranging fund raisin dances gigs to start with just a little thought.
Since you have all those brilliant ideas and advice, why don’t you put your money where your mouth is? I wonder how much did you as an individual contribute to the art form, let alone say you will take a page from and individual’s book like Duncan and make a donation to someone.
Stop criticizing and get some work done!
what is your contribution in all of that is it just the freedom of expression?
Good gesture Duncan. If I was selling passports to I would have given Booplais some money for highlighting the passport selling business.
