MAJOR CHANGES TO BE IMPLEMENTED AT THE 2012 CHUTNEY SOCA MONARCH
October 11, 2011

CHUTNEY SOCA MONARCH 2012

Major changes will be implemented at the 2012 Chutney Soca Monarch held annually during the Carnival celebrations in Trinidad & Tobago.
New rules and regulations, exciting new elements, and a new theme in 2012, will all make up what is carded to be the biggest ever Chutney Soca Monarch in the history of the competition.
The Chutney Soca Monarch is the most important and largest Indo Caribbean event in the world. Held annually, it has also become one of the ‘Big Four’ events in our Carnival every year, the others being the International Soca Monarch, the Dimanche Gras and the Panorama Finals.
The event is being re-branded and will have a new look in 2012.

2012 THEME – CHUTNEY SOCA MONARCH

The Chutney Soca Monarch remains one of the most colorful productions in Carnival, and 2012 will be no different as the theme of the event reflects an embracing of the Caribbean spirit, Caribbean music and Caribbean people - ONE – One Caribbean, One music, One People – the theme for 2012.

NEW VENUE AND NEW DATE

The Producers of the 2012 Chutney Soca Monarch have decided to move the event to POS. We have been having discussions with the National Carnival Commission with the intention of hosting the event at the Queens Park Savannah. These discussions are still ongoing.

Producers will also be moving the event one week closer to Carnival and has proposed the Grand Final to be hosted on Saturday 11th February 2012.

NEW RULES & REGULATIONS

2 new rules will be introduced to the competition in 2012.
Artistes will not be allowed to use film melodies in their songs, which have plagued the competition over the last few years. Only songs that have 100% original melodies and lyrics will be allowed to compete, and there will also be a screening of the music to ensure that lyrics and topics are positive.

GUYANA TO BE INCLUDED IN A MAJOR WAY

In 2012, a number of new features will be added to the event.

3 artistes from Guyana will be taken directly to the Grand Final of Chutney Soca Monarch through a special screening process that will see eliminations gradually come down to the three selected Guyanese artistes.

2 judges from Guyana will also sit on the judging panel for the Grand Final should in case the technologies fail on the night.

The Grand Final of the Chutney Soca Monarch will be broadcast ‘live’ via satellite to Guyana and featured on a major TV network in Guyana.

Finally, the event, which is judged by 100% text votes, will also give the Guyana public the opportunity to participate at this level, as arrangements are also being put in place for the people of Guyana to be able to vote via text voting through a local network.

By 2013, it is expected that a ‘Guyana Leg’ of the Chutney Soca Monarch competition will take place in Georgetown.

OTHER VOTING

In 2012, apart from Guyana national s being allowed to vote through a local network, online voting will take place as the event will be streamed over the internet to a ‘live’ viewing public. Text voting will also take place as in years gone by in the USA, Canada and of course Trinidad & Tobago.

MAJOR INTERNATIONAL ACT FOR CSM 2012

A major International act will be included in the program for Chutney Soca Monarch 2012. An act that will further enhance the production and add major value to the show. The event will also have an International co-host, and the opening of the show will feature several Caribbean countries.

OTHER CARNIVAL EVENTS

In 2012, Southex will start a Jr. Chutney Soca Monarch that will crown a young champion. The event will feature one grand show that will showcase the talents of those artistes below the age of 18yrs.

Chutney on D Sutton, one of the most successful events in 2011 will once again be a feature on the Calendar of events.

Girlz Gon White, held at the Space Car Park over the last 3 years will also find a new home in 2012, as the event has outgrown the present venue.

CONCLUSION

Southex is projecting that 2012 will be the biggest and most exciting year in the history of the Chutney Soca Monarch. The Grand Final’s move to POS is a positive one, and one that will position the event where it should be.
Many other countries will be added to the 2013 event, as Chutney Soca Monarch starts to spread throughout the Caribbean.

I Dont Hear Much Original Melodies Here ! LOL Watch Most Of Them Get Kicked Out.

DR. Selectah · Nov 13, 2011

The new changes - namely the no bollywood melodies to be used - seem pretty good and have the potential to change chutney back to how it used to be, or lead it to new developments.

However.

As far as I see it - the artists will still release the majority of their new songs with the indian melodies, for promotion. Then do a few 'original' songs (for CSM). But I wonder if they even know how to create original melodies anymore..

InfamousVibes · Nov 13, 2011

Seriously, I still hearing indian melodies.
Rick Ramotaur - Falling Apart - Sau Saal Pehle
Ravi B - Horning Meh - Tere Ghar Ke Samne
Prince JP - What Kind Of Life - Yamla Pagla Dewanna

Interesting to note, Hunter wrote the lyrics for Ranjeev's "Stalkah" and Hunter's "Engine" is original also.

I'm still looking forward for KI's new release ..

"and there will also be a screening of the music to ensure that lyrics and topics are positive.
That's funny when most of the chutney songs are about rum, horning or sex.

They will have to go back to the one man who can actually make original chutney properly. By FM Studios with Fareed Mohammed. People say hes a very stubborn guy and wants things done his way but then again i wouldnt know about it.

Karma used to produce with him until Pungalunks came along. Ravi B's Father passed away a few years ago and Big Rich took the father role for him so thats why they're so close and he doesnt produce with anybody else.

Rick Ramotaur - Suno Suno Mousie
Vanesssa Ramotaur - Pangatawah

DeeJayy8 · Nov 14, 2011

Props to Rick and Vanessa Ramotar, and Rajin Dhanraj for making a chune NOT from bollywood. Rick's chune sounds a bit familiar but still atleast its from an old traditional chutney song, and atleast hes trying unlike other sh*t bricks that are still leeching their tunes from bollywood and degrading the concept and imagine of chutney.... =/

guyaneseboi · Nov 15, 2011

Honestly i think that the new chutney music coming out ,
is really slacking
i honestly think that the older chutney music is way better than the more recent ones
no offense :$
