Voices of Victory: NWAC Calypso Queen Finals 2026


Tonight, the spotlight shines on the Winnifred Atwell Auditorium at Queen’s Hall, Port of Spain — where sixteen powerful voices will rise in rhythm, wit, and lyrical fire for the 2026 NWAC National Calypso Queen crown.

Kaiso Dial celebrates every participant who stepped onto the stage at John Cupid Carnival Village and made it to the finals today.  Their artistry, courage, and unwavering commitment to the calypso tradition provided a much-needed rebirth for the calypso art form.  The contributions of these artists are undeniable. You’ve shown the nation—and the world—that you are here to stay, and your music will continue to inspire, challenge, and uplift.

To the finalists: tonight is your moment to shine. There are no losers; those who didn’t advance, your journey is far from over, and we will continue to applaud your efforts on Kaiso Dial.  You’ve earned your place in the cultural conversation, and your voice will echo beyond this competition, especially here on Kaiso Dial... we are keeping watch, and the Dial never lies!

Tonight, someone will rise above the rest, and rest assured, bush judges will have their say... they thief, they thief, we want to see the score sheet (credit). We look forward to an unforgettable night of excellence, storytelling, and musical mastery. The crown awaits—but the real victory is in the legacy each artist builds with every verse, every chorus, and every roar of applause.
