Dominica’s six-time calypso monarch, King Dice, will be the main act at an event dubbed Caribbean Calypso Explosion to be held in New York city this weekend.
The show, the first of its kind, is carded for the May 25th memorial weekend and will feature a number of calypsonians from the OECS and smaller Caribbean countries.
Two Dominican promotion enterprises, MasCamp Caribbean and SCIIBER Promotions, have come together to stage the event.
Other Caribbean artistes expected to feature are: one time soca monarch and leading Grenadian calypsonian, Randy Isaac, two time calypso king of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, King Age and past calypso king of St. Croix, King Mose-I.
The line up also includes four time calypso king of Dominica, Solo and special guest appearances by Fireman Mitch of St. Lucia and the Muscle from Grenada.
Caribbean Calypso Explosion will be held from 10.00 pm at the Buzz (formerly Caribbean City) at 103 Empire Boulevard, between Bedford and Washington.
MC WASSI from Trinidad will be the master of ceremony.
If its a Carribean Calpyso explosion where are the rest because some Islands are missing.
Since this is a Dominican thing with a few Caribbean artists it really did not interest me..Dominican artists always late and they walking in and talking with all dick tom and harry outside..when they say a show is 9 o’clock, don’t kill yourself to be there, it always starts 3hours later. My other problem is the bands play too loud and you can hardly hear what the artist. saying.
Excited for Dice and Dominica but this reporting is so inaccurate. He is not the main act. Jeeez
how can dat man be allowed in the US nah? i thought he was arrested for drugs which means he should have a police record!!!!
It is time for the KIng to represent and he can….big up to you, I know you will make DA stand out..
Forward-we-go. It’s a start in the right direction. Cheers.
I never knew there was a Mas Camp Caribbean. I thought was Showdown INC. The Puppet Master at it again. Only one Mas Camp Calypsonian at a Mas Camp organised event. Shame Shame Shame then all you want to have Annemarie Clarke under stress
Enjoy the show people for those of us who cant be there. Stand up for teacher, buy the complete Dominica story. Then follow Tarzan to the jungle and boogie and jam jam jam.
In “New York City?” New York City has Five Boroughs. Where is he going to be? my guess is Brooklyn…hehehehehehe that’s where they have all de carnival and bacanal.
Yes Frabo, your guess is correct as Empire Boulevard is in Brooklyn.
We support our own but we always get late start, bogus acts sometimes. Still suffering from that Chubby jam that never took place at tropical reflections. I had better things to do with my $40.00, than to give it up for .BS. come on guys do better than that, you know yourselves. And stop blaming Dominicans for not supporting our thing. I will take a rain check on this one. But good luck guys.
What is this person talking about? Wasn’t Chubby and Groovers playing at Tropic Reflections last year May and Labour Day weekend? Fanatik played as well. Why some Dominicans like to do that? I remember Groovers playing for a very short time when Fanatik played, but it was wrong to say that they did not play. That is pure propaganda and wickedness on your part. WHoever you are.
Smarty! yes you said it your self. they may have played for a little bit” but that was not the plan as advertized, my conversation with Chubby who i must say was blue vex to be put in such a situation as a professional performer was a dam shame. I have no horse in this race except to fork over my hard earned $$$$$`s in the name of supporting “Our thing” So who ever you are put that in your pipe and smoke it. See you when ther`s a real show.
go for it dice-c and always put your head high

This is a Da event with forin guest artist.
Papat did you wrote to the executives of the associations of calypso asking then to submit their king ?
You too like trouble. You do not know the response of all the invited artist. Some of them may have not go time off. Also the event could have been planned late. It is just a start for better and more organised things to come. Don’t start bashing yet.
