And what the hell was Lil Jon - a hip hop artist - doing there. Absolute folly!!!! (I have nothing against Hip Hop). The NCF needs to re-evaluate exactly what cohobblopot is supposed to be. Is it supposed to be the showpiece of our national festival or just a big show? If it is the former then I totally agree with you Boyce - they had a further cultural responsibility which they needed to adhere to - and they didn't While I have nothing against a T&T act doing a guest spot at Cohobblopot, I think it is utter nonsense that Machel was given 2 hours while some local acts were restricted to 5 minutes.

One of my early recordings was a song called FATHER HARRY which because of its air play and popularity at the time caused a certain person to feel that he should have gotten more money from me as a result of pre-production work done for me with respect to this song. s/he was of the misconception that I was making millions because the song was on the radio, in fetes and being played by other bands. ENVY stepped in. Envy has been a problem in Barbados and it causes people to ignore the contributions of others. However we the Calypsonians provided the market for calypso/soca/ragga soca and ragtag(what Pong and Contone does) -Yes RAGTAG. If the market was not here people such as Machel would not come. I am saying that we the local CALYPSONIANS built up this market by fighting hard -yes fighting to keep the art form alive in Barbados. We did so by spending a lot of money to pay arrangers, musicians , back-up vocalists, sound men and others to put on shows in the Tents and other places. CALYPSONAINS such as Lord Wilson who took his own money and gave others the opportunity to get exposure in a calypso tent by launching and managing Tents. Pioneers and adventurers such as Mighty Herring, Viper, Liar, Gabby, Destroyer-(Keisha Christian’s Father), Romeo, Mighty Dragon, Addy -Addinton Forde, PJ Lovelle, Grynner, Jack Iron , Teller, Playboy, Devil (HERO), Sir Don, Pitchup, Adonijah, Serenader, Pompey, Cayenne,Traveller, Classic, Rubber Man, Fowl Foot, Lord Gander, Georgie, GEORGIE PORGIE, Hawk, Capricorn Star, Culture Man, Phantom, Elponsie,Ranking I -Kick, Ellashoe, Speedy, Lord Randy, Lord Mark, Invader#3, Buffalo Soldier(Asiba-The ), Bumba, Hitler, Ras Iley, Kennedy, Jeweller, Madd, Mystic,Termite, BlackPawn. Mighty Liar, Malick, Poonka, Reporter, Director, On Target, (Keann Walter’s Father), Duke Checked ED Shirt, Informer, Jadu, Commoner Blackie, Young Blood, Elbee, De Ripper, Pemmy,Plecky,President Wilson-(Lord Wilson’s brother), Prophet, Reclaimer, Ringo, Rocky, Sach Moore, Lord Sivers, Stalker, Structure, Caesar, Lady Anne, Lady Willpower, Froggie, Madame Syncho Tempo, Cherrie, Striver, Owly, Sweet-timer, Observer, Fono, Evey, Stevie, Richard X, Prince Yellow, De Devil- (grass skirt), AND OTHERS to be mentioned later. NONE OF THESE PERSONS SHOULD BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED It is interesting to have Machel in Barbados
but we the local calypsonians built this FESTIVAL and like Musikal from Trimart Hit Parade and formerly from Houe of Soca Calypso Tent , said in one of his songs–we forking ground for monkey to wuk pon–

I mean a man like Lil Rick should be a headliner at a big show like that in Bim not reduced to 5 minutes. Same with Rupee. If you featuring Machel make him a guest who will get a lil time segment dont pull him up and downpress the local man.

Or the same Krosfyah and Rupee?? Get the picture? Don't take my word for it - type the previous names in conjunction with Trinidad and see what results pop up... Hint, jouvay-dot-com, etc. Party Monarch 2008 had 7,000 patrons and was 100% Bajan – but perhaps you’re right, maybe we need to stop the jingoism for survival and have a Caribbean Cultural Foundation – much the same as where Caricom allows Alison Hinds to perform all over the West Indies with no nationalistic outcry made?
