WHAT DO SEVERAL former monarchs, a couple of newcomers, a number of perennial finalists and some favourites have in common?

Come Saturday morning they will all be hoping to hear their names announced among the coveted 16 to compete in both the Sweet Soca and the Party Monarch finals.

The semi-finalists for the two competitions as well as the finalists of the inaugural Bashment Soca contest will vocally fight it out at the event dubbed the Barbados Yellow Pages Phenomenal Friday, which comes off tonight at the historic Kensington Oval.

It is expected to be nothing short of a battle for the ages with arguably the best of the best offerings for the 2016 Crop Over season clashing. And because, according to the producers of the event, the National Cultural Foundation, props in the semi-finals are strictly prohibited the finalists will most definitely come down to the finest performances on the night and morning.  (SDB Media)
