The Mighty Sparrow 🎉❤a Trinidadian & Tobagonian, prodigiously talented man. An incredible storyteller of the Caribbean history and culture. We love ‘he’ (him) very much; especially as we listen and learn from his work in poetry. I really appreciate and admire all of sons and daughters of the twin islands paradise! My father Langford Mendoza( better known as ManMan the shoemaker in 45 Park Street in Port of Spain) was a great writer of Calypso! I saw them coming to our home to buy his compositions in the creative arts!
Sparrow is such a legendary calysonian! He paved the way for all these soca artists of today. I wish we could help people today to appreciate and honor the genius of these song writing/performers. Their brilliant story telling, use of double entendre, mastery of melody, rhythm and brass, and rich resonant voices. When I was at UVI, my music professor had come all the way from Australia to study the artistry of this very calysonian that we took for granted, "The Mighty Sparrow"! We need to find a way to properly honor them and share their brilliance with the world.
You are very right, my father gave me the bug when very young far back in the early 60s, loving me this him music since then. Nothing like Sparrow in Soca.
You are so right. I remember this man's incredible music as a small girl in Barbados, singing all the songs without a notion of what double entendre was. He truly is a gifted artist. He has aged well.
I'm currently watching this with my 88 yr old grandma, born in Trinidad but moved to the UK. She has Dementia now but she remembers Sparrow and his songs well and curreny jigging away! ❤️ Thank you for posting. Much love!
Sparrow is uniquely supreme. His story telling is immaculate in every respect. He is genuinely a gifted singer and songwriter. He deserves a honorary doctorate for the contribution made to world through his songs. Be blessed Mighty Sparrow.
I am from Roàtan bay island of Honduras DOB 2/25/58/ : 65 yrs Wayne Hunt all My Life Time Will say Sparrow lyrics is Best when it come Calypso he is BEST Globally
See this performance of the Mighty Sparrow took be way back to the 60's and 70's, when we truly had social commentary in our songs/music. Sparrow is truly the Best they was and the Best they will ever be. Long live the only Calypso King of the world. The Mighty Sparrow.
The Mighty Sparrow is in a class all its own. He is a one-man show. Master of lyrics and story-telling, which today calpyso seems to be forgotten art. Long ago, calysoes captured the international, regional and local issues of the day. Many of the songs are evergreen. Today, the soca artistes, sad to say sing nothing worth listening to - it's all about jam and wine in coarse, degrading language, not many of their lyrics are uplifting.
I’m in quarantine recovering from COVID and I came across this show I love sparrow I’m just enjoying this it’ brought back so so much memories back home in Trinidad. They don’t make them like this anymore
Mighty Sparrow forever. Can we ever have another Sparrow? Mae Mae remains evergreen. I grew up to listen to Mighty Sparrow on Turntable, now still playing on CZcams as if it was released yesterday. What a legend.
I have listened and been entertained by this philosophical master of Calypso, the Great Mighty Sparrow. He has archived our history in Calypso. He deserves, if it has not been done, an Honorary Doctorate in Calypso. Kudos to the Mighty Sparrow. God bless.
My favourite songs sung by the Mighty Sparrow when I was still in school in the early 60s was, May May, Madam Dracula, Maria, Gloria and Sparrow water me garden. Remembering those happy days when we were young and free.🥰
"And in a million different ways they violate the law, It’s the same good, no good bastards who oppress the poor. They selling black market, making excess profit, paying a starvation salary.These good citizens are the architects of economic slavery." True then, true now. The whole world needs to listen to Sparrow. Thanks for posting this.
Sparrow was the actor..the actress..the audience...and the producer...talented man...legend ...love him for every word....once he said it..god bless you sparrow...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I no this calypsoian since a little girl he is d best brought back memories of my parents, old days Gid bless him with health strength happiness long life God's blessing.

Sparrow is such an entertainer. His sense of humour and narrative is top shelf, so suggestive🤣😂😅and true to life. I could listen and watch his performances all day.👏🏽💐😍🌟💯☑️🇯🇲
This is one of the songs that I learned a lot from, in my very young days. There is also another one that influenced me in those days, one called "The people will talk." By a singer called King Fighter. Ole time calypso teach me a lot. Dan is di man in di van!
