Showdown Mas Camp Calypsonians represent Dominica well at various Regional Calypso Competitions

​Showdown Mas Camp reportedly kept Dominica's flag flying high this year, as a number of its representatives placed in the winners' row in various regional calypso competitions. The latest successful contender was Charis Daniel who stormed into the top three, at the Nevis Culturama Calypso Competition in August. She unleashed one of the richest and most alluring voices at the event, and captivated the audience with her charm and offhand charisma on stage.
 
Her renditions of two intriguing calypsos--‘Nobody doh Love me’ and ‘Not Loving thy Neighbour’-- made her a strong contender to be the calypso monarch, but in a tight finish, she was adjudged 2nd runner-up, cementing her status as an exceptional new Artiste.
 
Charis said she absolutely loves calypso and made her debut in Dominica in 2015 with encouragement from director Pat Aaron of Showdown Entertainment Development, aka Showdown Mas Camp.
 
In her debut year, she won the 'Champ of the Camp' crown, and the next year she made it to the semi-finals of the calypso competition. She has since moved to Nevis where she decided to compete in the Annual Calypso Competition. Her calypso mentor Pat Aaron said Charis' performance in Nevis is a clear demonstration of the calypso talent in Dominica.
 
Dominican Everlyne 'Ebony Empress' Walters also represented Mas Camp well in the St Maarten Calypso Competition where she placed third. This was her debut performance as a calypsonian. St Lucian Artiste Oshun also did a great job with what was considered to be one of the most popular songs in the competition there.
 
Based on the artistes' promising performances, Showdown Mas Camp plans to extend its calypso market share and make great headway in the region, under the extended banner of MAS CAMP CARIBBEAN.
