N’Janella goes for sixth calypso crown in Couva carnival

Multiple champion, N’Janella Duncan-Regis, who has dominated the calypso stage of the Couva Carnival Committee in recent years, goes for her sixth crown in the junior category of the competition when the committee stages the grand finals of the Junior and Senior Calypso Monarch competitions at the Couva Car Park on Friday.

Duncan-Regis, who is also defending her crown, will appear in sixth position, singing her 2020 offering, Spirit of Calypso. She will come up against ten rivals who will attempt to cut her stranglehold on the junior title.

With defending champion in the senior category, Amrika Mutroo, opting not to compete this year, former champion Georgia McIntyre will have the opportunity of returning to the top as she faces 14 calypsonians, most of them newcomers to the Couva stage.

All activities for Couva Carnival take place at Carnival centre – Couva car park. TUCO Kaiso Showcase will entertain patrons on Saturday; Children’s Carnival follows on Sunday; J’Ouvert on Monday; Monday NightMas; and Parade of the Bands on Tuesday.
