BASSETERRE, St.Kitts (Thursday 21st December, 2017)– “The fans are in for a treat, pure high energy and a burst of excitement when Dejour hits the stage!”

Following semi-finals held last Friday night (15th December) at Carnival Village in Basseterre, Dejour belting out his hit song called ‘Soca Rebel’  scored 412 points for the top spot among 11 chosen finalists from a field of 22 participants.

This year, for the Soca Monarch Competition, the two separate segments of Groovy and Power have been joined.
