Full house for Machel Monday*

Thousands jam stadium venue

A surprise reunion of two local music industry icons served as the “magical moment of the night” as thousands filled the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Port of Spain for the annual Machel Monday concert event on Monday night.

The 2016 fete season has been plagued by lacklustre support for many events with several others cancelled altogether, but Machel Monday 2016 maintained its status as the biggest event of the season.

The stadium venue was mostly filled to capacity with thousands of Montano’s fans and the self-proclaimed “Monk” recruited an all-star cast of global superstars, as per usual. However, this year the energy took a long time to build into the typical frenzy associated with Montano’s appearances and the truly epic moments came nearer to the end of the show – after a relatively tame first half.

Montano vs Yorke in court*

http://www.trinidadexpress.com/20160216/news/montano-vs-yorke-in-court

SOCA star and 2016 Road March winner Machel Montano will be taking former national footballer Dwight Yorke to court as he seeks damages after he was falsely advertised as being one of the performers at Yorke’s annual Island Vibe fete in Tobago over the weekend.

This was revealed yesterday during a court hearing at the Hall of Justice, in Port of Spain, in which Montano was seeking an injunction to prevent Yorke from further using his name and image in the advertisements to promote the event, which took place on Saturday at Pigeon Point.
That same afternoon, Montano obtained an emergency order, which was granted by Justice Ricky Rahim, which restrained Yorke from promoting, advertising or publishing the alleged performance or any of his bands at the event.

Machel drops case against Yorke


http://www.trinidadexpress.com/20160223/news/machel-drops-case-against-yorke

SOCA star Machel Montano has discontinued legal proceedings against his long-time friend, former national footballer Dwight Yorke, after taking him to court for falsely advertising that Montano would have been one of the performers at his (Yorke’s) annual Island Vibe fete in Tobago two weeks ago.

On Monday, attorney Jacqueline Chang, one of Montano’s attorneys, based on Montano’s instructions, filed a notice of discontinuance at the Hall of Justice in Port of Spain, bringing an end to the proceedings against the former star footballer after initially seeking damages for the misuse of his name and image. In fact, Montano’s lead attorney Larry Williams told reporters that his client never had the desire or intention to seek damages from Yorke, but explained that there was a legal procedure to be followed after Montano was granted an injunction by a High Court judge during an emergency sitting to prevent Yorke from further using his name to promote the event, which took place on February 13.
That same evening, Montano obtained an emergency order, which was granted by Justice Ricky Rahim, restraining Yorke from promoting, advertising or publishing the alleged performance of any of his bands at the event.

The substantive issue came up for hearing before Justice Frank Seepersad, at the High Court on February 16.
At the hearing, Justice Seepersad stated that the whole purpose of the application was to prevent Yorke from further using Montano’s image to promote the event.

However, given that the event had already taken place, the judge said it would serve no use in the matter proceeding and granted leave to Montano’s team of attorneys to withdraw the notice of application for the injunction.
However, even though the application was withdrawn, Montano still had the option of taking legal action against Yorke for damages after his name and image were used to promote the event.

Montano leads millions *
Soca artiste commands Hollywood carnival


http://www.trinidadexpress.com/20160630/features/montano-leads-millions

Only days after speaking on Trinbago/Caribbean culture, calypso and soca music alongside fellow internationally acclaimed local musician, Etienne Charels, reigning National Road March Monarch, Machel Montano headlined the Hollywood carnival in Los Angeles, USA, where over two million people swarmed on to the streets of the city chipping to Montano's music and hits from other Trinbagonian artistes.

And while Montano performed from a huge music truck, on the streets below masqueraders frolicked in their costumes as part of the Epic Mas Band, endorsed by Montano. Hollywood Boulevard resonated with the sounds of soca and other Caribbean music forms as the colours of our national flag could be seen throughout the route either being waved or being worn by proud Trinis, as well as people who have fallen in love with our island, our people, our culture and our music through one reason or another.

Drake Co-Signed Soca Star Machel Montano Talks Making a Global Impact and Heading to the Big Screen

Whether joining Rihanna to perform “Bitch Better Have My Money” in her native Barbados or appearing in Nicki Minaj’s Trinidad-set “Pound the Alarm” video, Machel Montano is the go-to for providing island-ready assists to pop stars. Though his name may not be familiar in the United States, Montano’s music -- soca, the upbeat, feverishly fast descendant of calypso that fuels Carnival celebrations around the world -- has influenced everyone from Major Lazer (which paired him with Ariana Grande for 2014 track “All My Love”) to Drake, who booked the 41-year-old Trinidad native to headline his annual OVO Fest in Toronto on July 30. “Drake was just No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘One Dance’ -- a hip-hop song influenced by soca music,” says Montano. “We’re contributing to the mainstream in a major way: There’s soca in Justin Bieber’s ‘Sorry,’ too. That makes me even more focused on my role right now.”

Machel, Kernel seek to have convictions overturned
By Rickie Ramdass


Soca star Machel Montano and songwriter Kernel Roberts who were both convicted four years ago on assault charges stemming from an incident outside a Port of Spain nightclub have mounted a legal challenge as they seek to have the convictions overturned.

Montano and Roberts were both present at the Court of Appeal in Port of Spain today for the first hearing of their appeal in which they are challenging the ruling of former Magistrate Maureen Baboolal-Gafoor who found them guilty in December 2012.

Justice of Appeal Alice Yorke-Soo Hon and Mark Mohammed presided over the hearing.

Montano was found guilty of assaulting Gerard Bowrin, Janelle Lee Chee, Brandis Browne and Russell Pollonais during a fracas at the Zen nightclub at the corner of Keate and Frederick Streets, Port of Spain, on April 26, 2007. Roberts was found guilty of assaulting both Browne and Pollonais.

Two other artistes, Joel "Zan" Feveck and Rodney "Benjai" LeBlanc's who were also charged alongside Montano and Roberts, were found not guilty.

The magistrate had ordered Montano to pay compensation totalling $13,500 and fines totalling $13,700. Roberts was ordered to pay compensation totalling $11,000 and fines totalling $13,000. The appeal will resume on April 26.
