The field of 16 was actually narrowed from the wider pool of 60 that had to face the judges during the elimination stages.
Only seven spots are however available for this year’s Finals but each of those on show tonight is confident that they will hear their name as part of the line up.
The 16 calypsonians who will be performing this evening are: Konris, Isoursop, Queen Anastasia, Ace, Socrates, Singing Jackie, Big Lice, Rudder, Lady Diva, Astro, Calypso Craig, King Ayatollah, Mighty Take Over, King Dwitie, King Godfrey and Zakie.
The Semi-Finalists will take part in two rounds of calypso, and then seven will be selected to face off with the reigning king King Pungwa on the 28th December.
