For the 2^nd year in a row, GI Beharry is the Chutney Soca Monarch. GI with a powerful rendition of his song ‘Drink Together’ earned the coveted title over the crowded field of 24 contestants.

Because of COVID restrictions, the show was pre-recorded in Trinidad, Guyana, and New York; it was packaged and shown on Saturday 13^th allowing viewers to vote via text. Though a bit long, the show was filled with Chutney dancers, costumes, and pageantry befitting of such a competition with each contestant going all out to be victorious.

In second place was Master Saleem with his rendition of B.Y.O.B.. Saleem is the brother of GI Beharry which makes it a first in the competition’s history that two brothers have occupied the top two positions.

Daddy Chinee placed third with ‘Mera Naam’.

Another first for CSM was a Queen of Chutney Soca title which went to Nisha Ramsook with her fiery rendition of her hit song ‘Fireman’.

Vanita Willie from Guyana placed second with ‘Poowah’ and Reshma Ramlal third with her humorous song “Fluffy Man”.
