San Fernando calypsonians are renewing their call for the creation of a permanent Calypso Museum to celebrate and preserve Trinidad and Tobago’s musical and cultural heritage.
With Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar now in charge of the National Trust, they are hopeful that a permanent archival space could soon become part of the city’s cultural landscape.
Speaking at an awards function in San Fernando on Saturday night, President of the Trinbago National Calypso Museum, Mc Morris Edwards, said discussions are ongoing with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and the Arts to secure a location for the museum in San Fernando. Among those receiving awards were veteran comedian Errol Fabien, Ivan Toolsie, recipient of the Chaconia Medal (Silver), and reporter Yvonne Webb.
