The 2010 (Trinidad and Tobago) International Soca Monarch is on Friday 12th February 2010, at the Queen’s Park Oval, from 9:30 pm.



I don't understand how Ricky T did not make it since he is the reigning Soca Monarch of St. Lucia.

And Benjai pulls out of the competition. He had already made it as far as the sem finals.
