REVIEW OF DIMANCHE GRAS: NATIONAL CALYPO MONARCH FINALS, QUEEN’S PARK SAVANNAH, PORT OF SPAIN, 19 FEBRUARY 2023

By Eugene McGuinness

On Sunday night, twelve calypsonians vied for the Calypso Crown on Dimanche Gras in the Calypso finals. As you know, I’ve been comparing this to the Super Bowl. Let me just say that Lord Kitchener was right: the results *did* surprise me.

For the final, each calypsonian had an opportunity to present the same song they sang at semifinals, on a larger stage (at the Queen’s Park Savannah), with a new dance/costume arrangement.

I’ll cut to the chase; the judges’ rankings are as follows:

1. Duane Ta'zyah O'Connor

2. Kerine Williams-Figaro

3. Karene Asche

4. Chuck Gordon

5. Tameika Darius

6. Terri Lyons

7. Ezekiel Yorke

8. Maria Bhola-Paul

9. Helon Francis

10. Heaven Charles

11. Mark Eastman

12. Carlos James

My rankings are below:

1. Mark Eastman

2. Terri Lyons

3. Helon Francis

4. Chuck Gordon

5. Maria Bhola-Paul

6. Tameika Darius

7. Kerine Williams-Figaro

8. Duane Ta'zyah O'Connor

9. Karene Asche

10. Ezekiel Yorke

11. Heaven Charles

12. Carlos James

I’ll go straight to the similarities: judges and I both put Chuck Gordon in 4th place, and we agreed Carlos James was in last place. Heaven Charles, my 11th place pick, was placed in 10th place by the judges. The judges placed Tameika Darius 5th, and I placed her 6th.

The main differences were in how I placed Mark Eastman (1st), versus where the judges put him (11th). I am biased toward picking what I feel to be the best song, whereas the judges are strictly considering the performance on the night of the final, and this is separate from the consideration received during semifinals. In my opinion, Mark Eastman had one of the best songs, and the best in the national pride category. (On the TUCO (Trinbago Unified Calypsonians’ Organisation) Facebook page, there were actually quite a few other fans disappointed about Mark Eastman’s standing. I noted to them that it seems we are not alone).

I rated Terri Lyons’s performance 2nd place, largely because I felt that as the reigning Calypso Monarch, she would be a strong candidate for the top three. Her song, “House Cleaning” was a serious song about promoting public vigilance in the face of crime, and doing a national house cleaning to rid the community of criminals. (She ripped off the Batman logo to this end). Considering rich pedophiles unlikely to see justice in court, she says “a good obeah [folk witchcraft] will reach them.” Her song was only released 5 days before the finals, since the Monarch doesn’t have to compete in the semifinals. Despite my expectation of a strong showing by Terri Lyons, and even a possible win, the judges placed her 6th.

Another big difference between my rankings and the judges’ own is our placement of Duane Ta’zyah O’Connor, the 1st place winner. I actually do not disagree with the judges’ decision to crown Ta’zyah the Monarch, because he gave a thoroughly solid performance. I only placed him 8th because there were a bunch of other songs I liked more.

By winning the Calypso Monarch title, Ta’zyah O’Connor follows in his father’s footsteps. His father, also named Duane O’Connor, won the title in 2012. Father and son joined each other on stage when Ta’zyah was named the Monarch, winning TT$500,000 ($74,000) and a new SUV worth TT$300,000 ($44,000). At 20 years old, he was the youngest contestant in the finals.

I join with TUCO and the National Carnival Commission (NCC) in congratulating Ta’zyah O’Connor, our new Calypso King!

Made in Trinidad & Tobago✨🇹🇹 Ọja bags feature a unique print on the front and our signature “made in..” print at the back. For us, made in Trinbago is more than just being 100% made here… It’s a celebration, an intent…a movement… It’s a stamp of sovereign that’s a mark of pride or a conversation starter… It’s the root…the wholly source (sauce)… For without it, would I even be here? Would I be me? Fully? When I was younger I wanted to be an ambassador for my country. As a ‘smallie’, I interpreted that as having something (other than my passport) that identified where I was from, that I could take with me outside of my country, where non-Trinbagonians would see and know. And here we are 20sum years later, doing just that❤️‍🔥🤍🖤 ✨Your favourite everything bags are returning to @b3wine.spirits and popping up at a new stockist in September 🫶🏾✨ #madewithlightandlove #caribbeanmagic #conceptualise #construct #create #sanianitos https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch43Dsduzkp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

FINAL MURAL ARTWORK

PASSES ACHIEVED:

P2: visual languages (the icons used to represent national prides) as a means of communication within different cultures

P7: creative and imaginative visual communications aimed at a variety of audiences (the variety refers to the students, teachers, parents and any other visitors at the school)

P8: again the theory of stereotyping is presented as a means of visual communication through the use of appropriate language (the icons presenting contemporary prides of Trinbago)

D3: creative thinking demonstrated in mural, avoid cliches, stereotypes and simplistic imagery. A cliche was displayed as the overall design is the online of the Scarlet Ibis wings, avoided by the use of the outline alone and a separate composer for the details within. Stereotypes applied in the colors chosen, avoided by using shades of the original colors.Simplistic imagery was used in the form of iconic silhouettes, avoided by its composition within the wings.

Project Details: Visual Communication with Images in Art & Design - Visual Cultural Mural/Exhibition

The aim of this project is to create a “Visual Culture Mural/Exhibition”; for the Dinsley Government Primary School, located Cor. Trincity Blvd. & Montaque Avenue, Trincity, Trinidad. The school is embarking upon a 5-year programme to upgrade all aspects of their school facilities. One key aspect of this programme involves the promotion of local arts and culture. This would involve the initiation of a mural spanning the length of the school’s walls.

The images for this mural project will provide diverse and positive representations of Trinbago’s visual culture in either a historic or contemporary sense. Alternatively images may contain and express various themes, ideas or national icons. These images should instill a sense of national pride, virtue and transcendence geared towards educating and inspiring current and future students in years to come.
