Dubbed Kaiso 365, the event was hosted by The Organization of Calypso Performing Artist, more commonly known by the acronym, OCPA.
The show was well attended by a demographically mixed group of die-hard calypso fans, that was left spellbound by the caliber of
the nine demographically mixed performers and their renditions. Eight challengers went up against last years champ, Macomere Fifi.
