The Mighty Gabby China Controversy
Why was the Mighty Gabby left out of the cultural delegation which was sent down to China by the National Cultural Foundation?
There has been much talk and speculation about this so Boyce Voice can speculate to once it dosnt cost me my shirt.
The Mighty Gabby is one of the most well rounded entertainers we have in this country, who is proficient as a singer producing calypso evergreens like “Jack” “Boots” “Hit It” the classic “Calypso”, so much hits he has produced as Lil Rick would say “I caan call all”. I have to call “Emmerton” though that haunting tribute to his home town.
He is a man who can dispense with a backing band pick up his box guitar and belt out folk classics like “Bridgetown” and did u ever hear Gabby hit the last note of Guava in this song and hold it, the man stretches it for ever, Guaaaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…
Like for 5 mins then, the man can really sing.
Gabby has also known to take to the stage and display thespian skills he even once acted as a politician.
And after all that, he is the 2010 Pic o De Crop Calypso King of Barbados.
So if there were only sending one entertainer down to China, it probably should be Gabby.
Some have said that its because of the alleged altercation involving Gabby which took place at Cohbblopot that resulted in Admiral Nelson losing his shirt.
You know what? that makes Gabby an even better choice, I have watched Kung Fu movies produced in China for years, fighting there is seen as an artform, using different styles and techniques, Snake and Crane and Dragon Fist, Gabby could show them the Bajan “lose yuh shirt” technique. ok then.
So Boyce Voice agrees with what was said by Adonijah, it is a major diss to Gabby that he is not part of that delegation being sent down to China, the Cultural authorities that made that decision need to go and come again, they best be careful somebody don’t meet them some where and drag their shirt off, or their jacket!
Boyce is leaving the building with his shirt intact….
