January 26, 2012 - Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago... Caribbean Prestige Foundation for the Performing Arts will take the Digicel International Soca Monarch competition to the World Wide Web with live streaming in High Definition (HD) via Carnival TV’s signature series, LIVEOnStage2Nite.

The Digicel International Soca Monarch has become a staple of the cultural landscape of Trinidad and Tobago’s carnival, being the foremost barometer for proficiency in the Soca realm of the Caribbean.

Carnival TV was launched in March 2011, as the premier HD Internet TV station streaming live Caribbean content to the globe, with an aim to capture and present the essence of everything Caribbean through the eyes of Caribbean people. In it’s pilot year, the station successfully kicked off its programming with live streams of Trinidad and Tobago’s Carnival including the National Steelband Panorama Finals, Dimanche Gras, and the Parade of the Bands, which attracted more than 300,000 viewers in 137 countries around the world.
The reigning International Power Soca Monarch, Machel Montano, brings the energy of his 2011 soca hit, Advantage, to the stage at the finals of the competition.
