Calypso Competition

Hi Guys in June this year, actually June 2nd I am entering a calypso competition commemorating LABOUR DAY in Trinidad and Tobago. At that time we celebrate the efforts of past Labour Leaders who fought for better wages and working conditions for employees in sugar and oil industries. Looking forward to your full support. See some lyrics below. OUR HEROES By Carlton Louison © 20.03.2018 Vs.1 I wish I had the honour Of meeting these heroes of Labour As some of you may already know They lived right here in Trinbago With intellectual swords they fought, Cutting down oppression from the north Helping employees to believe Higher wages they could achieve The STRONG foundation that these comrades laid We must ensure it will never fade. Chorus Remember our Heroes who championed the fight Our courageous heroes who laboured through the night. Captain A. A. Cipriani, Adrian Cola Rienzi and labour's Godfather Tubal Uriah Butler. A man of integrity, perseverance and character.
