Tireless Montano marches on after setting Road March mark
Veteran calypso and soca star Machel Montano recently cemented his legacy in Caribbean music history, becoming the all-time Road March record holder in Trinidad and Tobago after winning the 2026 title at the close of Carnival celebrations.
With the carnival celebrations in full swing, Montano’s upcoming schedule features major performances including I Love Soca Jamaica (April 9), Karnival Kingdom Ghana (April 23), and is scheduled to perform in Bermuda from June 10–15. He is also headlining show in New York on August 8.
Montano secured his 12th Road March victory with his hit ‘Encore’, moving ahead of late calypso legend Lord Kitchener with whom he was tied following his win in 2025. The Road March title is awarded to the song played most frequently across judging points during Carnival’s parade of the bands.
