BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – KNOWN as the ‘King of Carnival’, Machel Montano is set to take Atlanta Carnival ablaze when he performs at the Club Obsession in Decatur, Georgia on Friday, May 28.
Montano, crowned 'King of Soca' by fans worldwide, will unveil his energetic and highly-acclaimed stage performance while showcasing his amazing catalog that spans 34 albums, according to a press release from Rhona Fox.
“The entertainer released his 34th studio effort earlier this year, aptly named Album 34, and promises to bring those new hits and classics to the carnival fans journeying to Georgia to enjoy this annual summer festival,” the release said.
Currently enjoying crossover fame, Montano can be heard on mainstream radio as the featured artiste on two pop tracks that are receiving decent airplay. His combination with Casely and Lil Jon on the spicy single, ‘Sweat’, has been heating up airwaves in Miami. And his feature on Pitbull's first single from his new album, ‘Alright’, is staking its claim on urban radio in New York City and across the country.
He was a top winner at the recent International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA) in New York, where he was named the 'Bob Marley Entertainer of the Year'. He is also billed as the exclusive Soca act on this year's Best of the Best Concert, happening during Memorial Day weekend in Miami.
The Atlanta Carnival event is dubbed ‘Ladies First’ and is already that, as advanced tickets have been said to been nabbed by females vying for some precious time with the Soca superstar.
