Unattached calypsonians sing about crime

The first calypsonian was Dave Voisin who delivered New Investment.

His performance was followed by Natasha Jenny Edmund singing, Youth Power. In the song, Edmund spoke about youths who are often over looked in society.

Edmund said that it was the vibrancy of the youth which at times makes a positive difference in a country. Youths, she added are a vehicle for change.

Delivering a powerful rendition, Still Colonial, young Miguella Simon sang that she would not stand silent as many try to bring back colonialism. “So long slavery has banished and they still living in the stone age, stop your colonial ways,” she sang.

Simon recalled situations in the country where persons were discriminated for their hair texture and religious garments. Terrance Daniel aka Big Youth, called on parents to be responsible for their children’s behaviour. “What a child see his/her parents do, they want to do. Teach your children as a mother and father, don’t watch your children doing wrong, correct them,” he sang. Results are expected to be released soon
