Machel Montano to receive keys to New York City
Soca star Machel Montano will receive the keys to New York City from Mayor Eric Adams on August 25th, coinciding with his headlining performance at the Rise Up NYC concert series at Roy Wilkins Park. Montano’s NYC appearance follows a London performance at Notting Hill Carnival on August 23rd, his first in eight years. He will then begin a historic four-night residency at Harlem’s Apollo Theater over Labor Day weekend. Montano expressed pride in showcasing Caribbean culture at these iconic venues, calling it a dream come true. The residency will feature special guests and exclusive memorabilia designed by Trinidad James.
