Yesterday, one of the world’s greatest singer songwriters, the undisputed King 👑 of Calypso, & pioneer of Soca, The Mighty Sparrow of Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹, has gone on. Everyone with a Caribbean background knows his name, and many more besides. Rest In Power to the GOAT 🐐.
Slinger Francisco, also known as the Mighty Sparrow, a Grenadian born calypsonian, songwriter and musician, passed away yesterday in the US at the age of 91.
The King of Calypso was a prolific winner of monarch and road march titles, and much loved in Grenada, in Trinidad and Tobago where he was settled and called home, and worldwide.
I was privileged to see him perform live at London's Tabernacle many years ago.
Rest well King. Your music will reign forever in our hearts and minds and will continue to educate and entertain generations to come.

@Nibiru1000 The black Caribbean people came from Africa involuntarily on the same boat(s) chained in the same way. They went through the same things as the native Americans, it's just not as documented. The ignorance of this gentleman on the right is the root cause of the problem.

Garry Porter is a 66 year-old white man who lives in Glendale, Arizona. He is the engineering director at Caris Life Sciences @carisls.
He was upset that I condemned racists for donating $700,000 to Shiloh Hendrix, who called an autistic five-year-old Black boy a ni88er, so he left a voicemail at my church.
In his voicemail, he referred to the Black autistic child and other Black people as “Black negroes,” distorted what happened, which we can clearly see the viral video, relegated the vitriolic, racist, epithet as “just a word.” he then referred to black people as “clowns” who “use it everyday” to justify Hendrix calling the child a ni88er.
He closed his vitriolic, racist message by telling me to “shut up“ and to preach to the “fools that listen” to my “crap” and “leave the country alone.”
He closed out his diatribe by disrespectfully calling me “fat boy.“
Gary, make no mistake about it, I am a full grown Black MAN and neither you nor any other bigot can shut me up or make me leave the country that my ancestors built.
