The nostalgia has begun to set in. Machel Montano and Ravi B have been reflecting on Montano’s signature carnival event, Machel Monday, which was last held in 2020. That was also the experience where fans of the Soca Taipan were able to witness his nuptials live. Yes! Machel Montano did get married a second time, to the same beautiful woman, in the same week, on stage at Machel Monday. Now, the heavyweight of Caribbean entertainment is hinting at a major celebration to come.
In 2020, Machel had signaled the end to the Machel Monday concept. One year later, Covid19 crippled the entertainment industry globally, and there would be no talk of Machel Monday or Carnival for that matter. Now, the artist who has given fans songs like, ‘Happy Papi,’ ’10 Outta 10,’ and ‘Bad Chargie’ with Viking Ding Dong in 2022, has signaled “greater things to come.”
Reminded of the date by fellow entertainer, Ravi B, Machel reposted a video of Machel Monday 2020, this past Monday, saying, “Seeing this I thought of the saying, ‘what eh miss yuh eh pass yuh,’ but I do miss this and I am grateful to all the MM family, friends and fans on stage, backstage and watching the stage. Just know there will be greater things to come.”
Now married and enjoying moments of solitude with his wife Renee, Machel reminded fans that he started his career in soca in 1982. “I started in 1982 and it’s 2022. Do the math,” he said, before ending with, “I think we have a celebration coming!”
What do you suspect he has up his sleeve? This April, together with Tribe, Montano delivers Melé Destinations where fans will fete and enjoy a true vacation in Cancun, Mexico for five days! That’s pretty exciting so there’s no doubt that whatever he’s coming with will top that experience… after all it will be a celebration of 40 years of Machel Montano in Soca!
