Caribbean Music Awards Going Home: Aisha Manrique Leads Historic Trinidad Staging

The Caribbean Music Awards is heading home. After three years in New York, the region’s biggest music celebration touches down in Trinidad and Tobago on September 19th, 2026—and Aisha Manrique has been tapped as the voice steering the ship. It’s a symbolic move: the awards returning to Caribbean soil, anchored by someone who understands the culture from the inside.

Expect the usual heavyweight lineup of regional and international stars. But this year, the energy shifts. When your awards show comes home, the stakes change. The Caribbean isn’t just attending anymore—it’s hosting. Manrique’s role as host will set the tone for what organizers are already calling the most anticipated staging yet.
