In a surprising turn of events, soca artist Bunji Garlin has officially entered the 2026 Road March competition, a notable event in Trinidad and Tobago’s Carnival. The announcement was made after a receipt of his payment to the Trinbago Unified Calypsonians’ Organisation surfaced. This move instantly shakes up the Road March competition, adding another serious competitor to an already closely watched race. The winning song in this contest is the track played most frequently as participants traverse official judging points. A late entry by a top artist like Garlin can greatly sway DJs, band leaders, and playlist choices in the contest’s final stages. Garlin’s reputation for high-energy anthems increases the stakes for other contenders and boosts anticipation among participants. His last-minute entry could potentially steer the direction of the Road March conversation, especially as Carnival energy builds and final playlists are being prepared. As the Carnival weekend progresses, attention will be focused on how Garlin’s entry affects the competition.
