Machel &
Claudette Rise to the Occasion with Stanford 20/20
Coolidge,
Antigua – Wednesday, 19 December 2007 – Stanford 20/20
fans get ready to rise to your feet as the new Stanford
20/20 Tournament song, featuring soca king Machel Montano
and Antiguan soca siren Claudette “CP” Peters, saturates the
radio airwaves and pumps up the region in anticipation of
the biggest cricket showdown in the Caribbean.
Entitled Come Rise With Me, the theme song for the 2008
competition encourages listeners to rise up and support
their team and get ready for a good time in Antigua at the
Stanford Cricket Ground come January. It also talks about
the unity that the game fosters; the unique elements such as
matches under lights, black bats and colourful uniforms; and
promotes the theme for the Tournament which is When Night
Falls, Cricket Rises.

Fans will not be
able to resist Claudette Peters’ invitation to rise, while
the energy and excitement of two-time Trinidad Carnival Road
March winner Machel Montano will compel them to stay on
their feet and enjoy the kind of ‘liming’ that is unique to
cricket in the Caribbean and embraced by the world.
Last year’s theme song Let The Battle Begin, performed by
Beenie Man and Patrice Roberts, has been officially adopted
as the Stanford 20/20 anthem and cricket fans will be able
to enjoy both songs during the Tournament. In addition, the
singers of both songs are expected to perform live during
the competition.
“We
are so excited to have Machel and Claudette join the
Stanford 20/20 family!” said Rhonda Kelly, Stanford 20/20
Event Director. “As Antigua’s reigning Soca Monarch for the
past three years, Claudette’s star is definitely rising and
we are so honoured to have her powerful and dynamic voice as
part of the Tournament this year. Machel’s career and
reputation as a high-energy, electrifying entertainer speaks
for itself and we are looking forward to thrilling
performances from this duo. The song will definitely bring a
soca atmosphere to the event which will go well with last
year’s song and anthem which had more of a dancehall vibe.”
Kelly encouraged fans to log on to the Stanford2020.com
website to download the song and view the music video.
The Stanford 20/20 Tournament will be held in January and
February of 2008 and the tournament will have more
excitement and all matches being played under the lights at
the Stanford Cricket Ground.
Guyana, winner of the inaugural tournament in 2006 will
defend its title and seek to pocket another US$1M, the top
prize for the tournament’s victorious team.
