Cro Cro taking up the mantle at a very difficult time of Trinidad & Tobago's history and pledging his patriotism to his Nation...Recorded from thw 1991 Dimanche Gras Show (sorry for the poor quality)
First, I was not taking issue with any of your statements or views. Mine was a reply to Ravi with regards to my uncle being a racist, when a man doh ha notten tuh say he mus hush!! Secondly, my comment was not to say I am an aficionado of calypso but can't deny that what I said is a fact. Lets face it when the slaves first started this artform it was entertaining whereby being a stress reliever. They vented their frustration through the music same as today.
Sundar Popo is my cousin and from what you are saying, I can tell you are disillusioned...I agree that we are descendants of Africa, India, Europe, China, Amerindians etc. which makes T&T as wonderful as it is. For being Lord Kitchener's grand nephew, I am shocked that you don't understand the power of Kaiso and how it has been biased and leaving the powers that be to do what they want.
Please enlighten me about Kaiso & Trinidad and prove what I am saying is incorrect. I have lived in Trinidad, and eventhough I am away, my ear is still to d groud - I speak from first hand knowledge. If you can point out exactly how I am ill- or mis-informed and back it up with facts (not hearsay) , I will retract my statements.
Desi...to answer your question, mmm, No i have not met crocro, but I did stand about 3-4 feet away from him at a show, and heard some of his remarks, OFF stage.... Hence why I feel the way I do. And to
junior2404, Who the hell are you to ask what I know about Kaiso or Trinidad? Cause your Kitchi family...like you have a degree in Kaiso and Trinidadianism? Anyways, im not going to even start on this topic cause Im gona need a whole page and a day to type what I really want to say.
I am the grand nephew of the Grand Master, and from your statement I can tell you haven't a clue of what your saying. Ours is a truly multicultural family. We are descendants of Africa, India, Europe, China, Amerindians and lawd knows what else. Don't speak if you don't have first hand knowledge. These guys are entertainers 1st and foremost, what ever the political 'virus' is at the time that will be the content of their lyrics. What do you really know about Kaiso or Trinidad?
I love this song... i wish the quality was better
