The story
Kayak Mas Groovy Semi Finals in Tennis Court/Hillsborough/Carriacou
Carriacou's Groovy Semi Finals judge the mid-tempo, melodically driven groovy soca subgenre separately from the faster power soca semi-final held two nights later, mirroring a genre split used across major Caribbean soca monarch competitions. Held at the Hillsborough tennis court venue early in carnival week, the round rewards song craft and danceable arrangement over pure physical intensity.
Groovy Semi Finals give Carriacou's carnival its own dedicated round for groovy soca, the mid-tempo, melodically driven soca subgenre distinct from the faster, higher-intensity power soca judged in a separate semi-final two nights later.
