Charles “Sour Sour” Isaac has recaptured the Carnival Road March title with his popular hit “I Enjoy My Life.”
Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Dominica Calypso Association Deryck “De Hunter” St Rose made the announcement during an interview with Dominica News Online (DNO) on Wednesday.
According to St. Rose, the three songs that dominated the road on Carnival Monday and Tuesday were Sour Sour’s “I Enjoy My Life”, Jay Dee’s, “Mama that is Mas” and Tasha P’s “Treadmill”.
“On Monday Jay Dee had 67 plays, Tasha P had 64, Sour Sour had 80 and on Tuesday Jay Dee had 80 plays, Tasha P 77, Sour Sour 77,” St. Rose revealed. Hunter revealed that Jay Dee got 147 plays, Tasha P 141 and Sour Sour 157. ,therefore, making Sour Sour the Road March King for 2020 with his popular hit “I enjoy My life”.
The calypsonian received a cash prize of $3000.
“I really want to congratulate Sour Sour for doing it again, back-to-back,” St. Rose stated. “He really said he was the undisputed King and he knew what he was talking about.”
He encouraged the bands to continue playing calypso since it’s part of the art form, “and we have to promote our product.”
“It’s important to promote what we have,” St Rose said.
Sour Sour first tied for the Road March title with the Hurricane in 1994 with his very popular Cool Pipe. He also won in 2011 with “No name, No Warrant” popularly known as “Yaw Yaw” and again in 2019 with “Grinder”.
In the land of the dum-in-can, simpleton is king!!!
What sort of discriminatory statement is this? Chupssssss!!!!! When we die where do all of us go? 6 feet deep whether we are Dum-in-Cans or Simpletion or Perplexed….if you can’t be positive remain mute!
Congrats Sour Sour… Although some of your lyrics bout making bom n drinking rhum could have been changed.. That being said, what is 3000 dollars?
In a modern world 3000 dollars for road March king? The government should be pumping more money in carnival n culture.
The calypso association should be given a heavy sum of money for prizes n stuff.
The government just squandered millions on foreign artists during elections a few months ago, welll now Dominicans seeing their worth.
3000 thousand is an insult to sour sour n Dominicans on a whole.
You guys expect people to take part in dat foolishness, nah man…
Dats why things backward in Dominica. You don’t hear dem saying real mas again, cause they wannna follow Trinidad n other countries… People don’t sing, perform for freee again…
Very well done sour! Now take three drinks, make three bomb with cap on, haalay fillet for three hours and sell your barlarwoo at three for a dollar. The three is for 3 time road-march king.
Remember three bomb @ $300.00 total with three different hoes. Then say three Hail Mary and three Our father for three days bro and ask for forgiveness when you done.
He is 4 times road march king, not 3. 1994, 2011, 2019 and 2020.
Give the grown man at least $5k. Still congrats.
Wonderful! He really brought the Carnival to life. I believe he deserves a separate check for that, $3,000 is measly compared to the impact he made this Carnival.
Give the grown man at least $5k. Still congrats. The only song I know belongdbto him
Well now rum going to take blows and bomb going to fall like Russia.
You forgot is copy he does copy nor. He cannot do maths
I had to do the math myself
“When we tabulated the average….Sour Sour 157” that is not an average that is a sum! Someone missed a math class or two.
Undisputed king, indeed! Congratulations “Sour Sour”.
Same thing I said when I read the sentence. And DNO quoted the man directly instead of reporting that the PRO said that the total number of times the songs were played…
When people speak poor English or use words incorrectly or are incoherent in part of their speech, DNO has a habit of quoting them directly. DNO should report on their statements without verbatim quoting them. DNO and other media houses have a responsibility for promoting the use of proper (standard) English.
ADMIN: Fair point. The line was changed to reported speech.
