They have communicated their wish to us that they want their eliminations so we have agreed to give them that. This is also an opportunity for the lesser-known calypsonians to have their moments of fame,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>This year there will be no quarter-finals round, however the 15 selected from elimination will meet last year&#8217;s 15 finalists in the semi-finals round, scheduled for February 12.<\/p>\n<p>At this leg of the competition, 15 will advance into the finals which is set for February 26 in a one round, one-song final competition.<\/p>\n<p>Salamat said due to financial constraints caused by the pandemic and the COVID-19 protocols which have been implemented, the season cannot mirror that of the past but he assured patrons that their taste for calypso will be satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>He further stated that all COVID-19 \u00a0protocols will be observed at the staging of these events and urged calypsonians to get prepared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever forget calypso is our business,\u201d Salamat stated.<\/p>\n<p>Reigning Virtual King, The Bobb, insists that he stands ready to defend his crown.<\/p>\n<p>He however holds the view that \u201cthe DCA needs to recognize that the competition has evolved to what it is now and should treat this new format of the competition as the official one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead of the title Virtual Monarch, he believes that the winner should be named the 2022 Calypso Monarch despite the absence of the grand style national competition.<\/p>\n<p>However,\u00a0 says he is in support of whatever decision that&#8217;s taken by\u00a0 in keeping the art form alive given the present circumstances of battling the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>While reigning calypso monarch, \u00a0Jay Dee supports the the DCA executive&#8217;s efforts to keep the show alive given the circumstances, he says he is concerned about the lack of promotion of the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should have started long ago over social media. If you want to capture an audience who can choose to do anything on those nights from watching another show to Netflix or even just going to bed you have to first capture their interest early and keep them interested leading up to the event. It\u2019s not business as usual and in the absence of proper promotions, we cannot maximize patron partaking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 2020 monarch expressed his excitement for the upcoming season as he stated that he is in full preparation mode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the wheels get into motion for the hosting of a virtual calypso season for the second consecutive year, the Dominica Calypso Association (DCA) is adamant that COVID-19 \u201cwill not kill calypso.\u201d With no word from the government on the&#8230;","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":279439,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[68,38,8,235,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-279437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-carnival","category-culture","category-entertainment","category-homepage-carousel","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Another virtual calypso season for Dominica;
