In 1996, The Chutney Soca Organization of Trinidad and Tobago and Southex Events produced the first ever Chutney Soca Monarch.

Today, Chutney Soca Monarch is the most important and largest Indo Caribbean event, presenting a unique and exciting celebration of the fine arts of Chutney Soca music, a gathering of music enthusiasts and industry professionals.

Through the staging of this event we have been able to create a pathway for the development of culture and provide an opportunity for artistes to expose their talent internationally, for the likes of audiences all over Europe, USA and Canada.

It remains one of the most colourful productions on the annual Carnival Calendar in Trinidad and Tobago and ranks itself amongst the four prestigious events, the International Soca Monarch, the Dimanche Gras and the Panorama Finals.

Chutney Soca Monarch has become an integral part of the culture and an important tool in the promotion of our Trinidad and Tobago and it will continue to hold its place for many years to come.
