‘Nubian Princess’ sights set on Nevis Calypso crown

Reigning calypso Queen Joeana ‘Nubian Princess’ Christopher left the country yesterday for the Nevis Culturama Festival.

Christopher will participate in the Caribbean Calypso King and Queen Contest which takes place tomorrow, Wednesday, August 1, at the Cultural Complex in Nevis.

“I am excited and I will do my best to make my people proud,” Christopher told SEARCHLIGHT yesterday.

Her trip is facilitated by this country’s Carnival Development Corporation (CDC).

Christopher won the National Queen of Calypso Competition this year with her song ‘Everything Gone Up’. She did not make it into the National Calypso finals this year and is hoping to prove herself with a great performance in Nevis.

She will be competing with her 2017 song ‘Where all my good friends gone?’
