Dear Editor,
With the passing of the musical/cultural icon, Dave Martins, much accolades and tributes are being paid, as they should. Dave Martins epitomised the true essence of the Caribbean Man.
The time is opportune to pay to our national hero, our icon, the best tribute, posthumously: bestow a national award (OR? CCH?), among other forms of recognition, such as induction into a musical, cultural hall, thereby giving meaning to a life lived simple, for the purpose of strumming music from the soul, where the Tradewinds blew across the Caribbean.
Rest peacefully…sing with the angels. Caricom, I am sure will consider an honouring of this , true Caribbean man. As I am at it: it was noted a post by a popular online media entity (News Source) alerting to the death of another calypsonian, Winfield James. Winfield was a Trinidadian but was happy to have made Guyana his home. May he too rest peacefully…and sing with the angels. Two calypsoians, both icons in their own right, brought us much delight with that genere of music that is truly ‘we own’.
Sincerely,
Shamshun Mohamed
