Slinger Francisco, ORTT, CM, OBE, known to the world as The Mighty Sparrow, was a true Caribbean music icon and legend.
Growing up, I enjoyed his music, humour and sharp social commentary. His songs became part of the soundtrack of Caribbean life and culture, beloved by generations of Jamaicans and people across the region.
I extend my condolences to his family, the people of Trinidad and Tobago, and the people of Grenada, where he was born.
What is your favourite Mighty Sparrow song? Congo Man, Saltfish, Jean and Dinah…?

We have seen a medley of people come up today, of all races, all religions, all creeds and this tragedy is just that, it's a tragedy. I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them. That's wrong. That does no honor to the victims here...please stop."
