'An insult to African women'

THE song "She's Royal" should have never been sung at the second anniversary celebration of the People's Partnership, because it is an insult to women of African descent.
This according to author and activist Pearl Eintou Springer, one of the vice chairpersons of the Emancipation Support Committee.
Springer said the song by Jamaican-American artiste Tarrus Riley was the only positive dancehall song for women, and should have never been sung for Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
The song was performed by Michael Osuana "Sugar Aloes" who has been criticised by some for a surprise performance at the event held at Mid Centre Mall in Chaguanas on Thursday.
The song has been played and sung for the Prime Minister at other events she attended in the past.
However, speaking with reporters after the sod-turning ceremony for a Sankofa Heritage Monument at the roundabout at Pointe-a-Pierre yesterday, Springer said, "We know the disrespect the African women take from the dancehall artistes. All of them give to our young black women the blatant sex and nastiness. We have this one song "She's Royal" for black women that I use all the time when I work with young black people. Suddenly, it is taken out of the context and taken into a political situation."
Springer said, "Our black women need a lot of support. They need a lot of encouragement to find their true selves, so that they can be mothers, be sisters, be daughters. This one iconic song written for them that can be used, I was stunned to see it used in the political (arena)."
She said Sugar Aloes, if he wanted, could have sung any other song at the event.
Springer said she was also disappointed that last year, there were no celebrations to commemorate African Liberation Day and that someone teaching a religious course in a tertiary institution was giving out wrong information about African characters and religious personalities.

Eintou defends stance over 'She's Royal'

AUTHOR and activist Pearl Eintou Springer said yesterday she was only trying to protect the vulnerable black youth when she expressed the view that the song "She's Royal" should not have been performed at the second anniversary celebration of the People's Partnership last week.
In a telephone interview with the Express, Springer, who has been criticised for her comments, dismissed the view that her comment was motivated by race.
The song was performed last Thursday night by calypsonian Michael "Sugar Aloes" Osuana, as a serenade to Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
In defending her comments, Springer said "I work among young African women, young African men in the so- called hotspots. And the major problem, as I see it, is a lack of sense of self. I listen to the nastiness, in the dancehall music by Vybz Kartel, that they listen to. And when I ask them to write out the lyrics to the songs they listen to, (the lyrics) are so filthy they can't repeat it, because they are embarrassed."
Springer said, "Then comes this song (She's Royal) by Tarrus Riley that I can use with those young people, both boys and girls. For the boys to inculcate respect for the young girls and for the young girls to begin to behave in a way that they can respect themselves and others to respect them. So it was from that point of view that I felt a lot of things, strong emotions, to see something so beautiful taken and out into the political arena simply to permit an artist to eat ah food."
She said "If my concern for my young black women and my young black men is misplaced then there is nothing I can do about that. It has nothing to do with anybody else except for me wanting to protect my own."
Springer said society talks about the crime and the hotspots but poverty in those areas is so rampant because these areas, which are mainly African communities, have been neglected by every single political party over the years.
The crime in those areas, she said, is not going to be solved by more police but through the use of more sensitive measures which she has been attempting to employ through her work.
She said "I understand that once you perform a work of art that it is accessible and everybody can use it. As an artist myself, I understand that. But I am asking, is nothing sacred? And what is there that will give a sense of self and sense of self worth to young black people?"

'Aloes' gets bitter welcome at the Park
Calypso Fiesta crowd pelts former monarch with toilet paper, roti

The second half of the Calypso Fiesta took a turn for the worse as former national calypso monarch Michael "Sugar Aloes" Osouna was pelted with wet toilet paper and wrapped rotis as he performed at Skinner Park, San Fernando.
Dressed in a white and pink suit, Aloes sang "Not the Land" and continued his performance even as he was pelted with toilet paper missiles.
Uniformed police officers manned both entrances at the front of the stage while Aloes performed.
Patrons also waved placards saying "Don't Go 4 Crown With Dat Song" and "Sugar Aloo-es is Wuk Ah Wuking Fuh Curry Dollar$".
The entertainer seemed unfazed and replied, "I still love allyuh. Raise them toilet paper high."
Aloes was criticised by members of the calypso fraternity and the public after he serenaded Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar with Tarrus Riley's "She's Royal" at the People's Partnership's second anniversary celebrations in Chaguanas in May 2012.
Also taking insult in stride at the Trinbago Unified Calypsonians Organisation (TUCO) competition was Winston "The Original De Fosto Himself" Scarborough, who performed "Alloo Sing" before exiting the stage.
As the competition heightened, Housing Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal showed his support backstage to the entertainers after their perfor`mances.
But the drama did not end there.
The crowd looked on in suspense as calypsonian Eunice Peters, who sang "None of the Above"—a political commentary—took a tumble before she ended her rendition.
She fell on stage but quickly got back up before going backstage and receiving first aid.
Cheers rang out at the introduction of Khadja Antoine's rendition, "Tears for the Children", as comedian Damian Melville acknowledged the presence of former prime minister Patrick Manning, accompanied by his wife, Hazel Manning.
Also present was Minister of Public Administration Carolyn Seepersad-Bachan and leader of the Movement for Social Justice David Abdulah.
This year, no mention of Government ministers was made during the first half of the competition, from which 11 artistes will be selected for the finals of the National Calypso Monarch at the Queen's Park Savannah, Port of Spain, on Thursday.
Crowd favourites yesterday were Henson "Calypso Prince" Wright who sang "Asylum Without a Gate", Alana Sinnette with "No Moral Authority" and Lynette "Lady Gypsy" Steele with "Brand Name".
Many of the renditions also emphasised social issues of crime and parenting.
Some also recalled the stories left untold within the calypso fraternity.
In the race to the grand finals, 20 female and 20 male calypsoians, including seven previous monarchs, will hope to dethrone 2012 Calypso Monarch Duane O'Connor.
Eleven finalists will be selected for a chance to take home the $1 million prize.
Second place will receive $500,000; third $250,000; fourth $150,000; fifth $100,000; and sixth through 12th, $60,000.
The first half of the competition began at midday with few patrons, unlike the usual turn out.
Alex "Tobago Chalkie" Gift led the cast of 40 with his song "A Spranger's Story".
He was followed by Allan "Bro Mudada" Fortune's "Oh God", Kurt Allen with "Political Sin- phony", Victor "Mr Mack" McDonald with "Side Effects", Devon Seale with "Game Show Politics", Giselle Frase Washington's "Stretch Out Your Hand", Lesley Ann Ellis with "Who Runs the World", Henson "Calypso Prince" Wright with "Asylum Without a Gate", Shamika Denoon with "Let's Talk Tobago", Anthony "All Rounder" Hendrickson "Look How Trinbago Come", Sandra "Singing Sandra" Des Vignes-Millington with "Failure is not an Option", Sean Daniel with "Rainbow Race", Raldoph "Count Robin" Hillaire with "Politicians In Heaven", Alana Sinnette with "No Moral Authority", Kizzie Ruiz with "In the Age of Blood", Lynette "Lady Gypsy" Steele with "Brand Name", Myron "Myron B" Bruce with "Oscar Awards", Michelle Henry with Blind man Bluff", Marion Pamponette sang "The Last Days" and Carlos "Skatie" James performed "Prophet Without Honour".
Several renditions about political influence went down well with the audience but were slow in coming.

[tourniquet]

not surprised, that type of behavior is expected by those kind of people. I'm sure Sugar Aloes anticipated some form of harassment when he went out there.
