FOUR-TIME Power Soca Monarch winner Ian "Bunji Garlin
" Alvarez has accused fellow soca artiste Machel Montano
of "playing politics" to win tonight's $2 million bmobile Power Soca Monarch grand prize.Montano, who has never won the Soca Monarch competition, has been picked to walk away with the $2 million prize this year by Attorney General Anand Ramlogan.
Asked to comment on this, Alvarez, who won the Soca Monarch title in 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2008, told the Express yesterday the Soca Monarch crowd is not one that can be easily fooled.
"No matter who put whatever in place, if anybody put things in place from before, on the night, the crowd knows who they want as their winner, and they would not accept anything less," Alvarez said.
Alvarez, performing in various soca fetes over the past week, has been using his freestyle flow of singing to address the perceived political ploy being used by Montano to win this year's competition.
A YouTube video entitled "Bunji Garlin
spits fire at 'Mr HD'" at Army Fete 2011 is currently being circulated on social networking sites."He gone up by Kamla to drop off CD, ask she to come in the video but she sending Gypsy. You ent see, you ent see, you ent see is politics playing on we, but when next week Friday come, tell them they cannot beat me. But they so caught up with two million. I will beat them from the stands to the pavilion. Hold a burn, hold a burn, that boy going to learn. You cannot pay for Soca Monarch, that's a title you earn," Alvarez sang at last week Friday's Army Fete, at the Queen's Park Savannah in Port of Spain.
