Machel Montano Road March Again!

Machel Montano has won the Road March competition for the third consecutive year with his song ‘Waiting on the Stage’. He became the fourth artiste to win a hat-trick, joining Austin Lyons (Super Blue), Aldwyn Roberts (Lord Kitchener) and Christopher Herbert (Tambu). The only person to win the competition four consecutive times is the late Roaring Lion whose real name was Raphael de Leon.

It came as no surprise when Montano ran away with the Road March title for the third consecutive year.
Montano’s tune ‘Waiting on the Stage’ was clearly the most popular song as it was played 328 times. His closest competitor was Kees Dieffenthaller’s ‘People, People’ which was played 29 times. Even before the results were announced by Trinbago Unified Calypsonians Organisation (TUCO), the public already suspected that Montano had won as his tune was heard blasting repeatedly at judging points throughout the country during Carnival Monday and Tuesday celebrations. Montano has won the title eight times, Austin “Super Blue” Lyons nine times while Aldwin “Lord Kitchener” Roberts won it ten times.
