ENGLISH
Join AfroResistance, the Brooklyn Public Library and the Machel Montano Foundation for Greatness for the Journey of a Soca King Exhibition winds down with this exhibition tour with the author of the definitive insider account of an extraordinary soca journey.
The iconic Machel Jesus Montano: a small-village Trinidadian boy who grew up to become Winer Boi, then HD, and ultimately, MONK Monté. In 2022, the acclaimed, award-winning King of Soca celebrated forty years in Calypso and Soca music–with a career that began at the age of seven–and now has legions of adoring fans worldwide.
This unique biography details how Machel achieved his remarkable success and longevity in the cut-throat music industry. Who better to tell the tale than the ultimate insider: his mother, manager, confidante, and now biographer – Elizabeth “Lady” Montano?
