@JRogo71@KolaXMovie I remember this. The context for this was that it was a press junket, in which you typically ask about the movie being promoted and feel good questions. The interviewer was way out of line asking him anything about his checkered past.
RIP Mighty Sparrow (9 Jul 1935 - 27 Sep 2026). Legendary #Trinbagonian#calypso and #soca vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist born Slinger Francisco, in Grand Roy, Grenada.
Widely regarded as the most influential figure in the history of calypso music. Though born in Grenada, he was raised from infancy in Port-of-Spain, #Trinidad, after his family relocated there in 1937, and it is with Trinidad and Tobago that he is most closely identified.
Sparrow's breakthrough came in 1956, when his composition "Jean and Dinah", a commentary on the withdrawal of American servicemen from Trinidad after World War II, won him the National Calypso King title and reshaped the art form's lyrical ambitions.
Over a career spanning more than seven decades, he has won Trinidad's Calypso Monarch title eight times and the Carnival Road March competition eight times, records that established him as, in his own popularized phrase, the "Calypso King of the World."
Beyond his competitive dominance, Sparrow's significance lies in his fusion of biting social and political satire with melodic accessibility, tackling colonialism, race, sexuality, and #Caribbean identity in songs such as "Slave," "Education," and "Congo Man."
Dear @marvel@marvelstudios: Please, for the love of it all, give us a one-shot of Michael Pena as Luis doing a recap of the entire MCU saga leading up to @Avengers: Doomsday.
Trinidadians, Haitians, and Jamaicans have the best food in the Caribbean TO ME. I will not be debating. I’ve never been to Haiti but the Miami Haitian food is insane. I can’t even imagine if i touch the soil
