The calypso community is mourning the death of legendary humourous calypsonian Donric “Master Funny” Williamson, who passed away at his home on Wednesday night after a long battle with cancer. He was 84.

Master Funny, known for hits such as Funny Win the Lotto and Accident Policy, was a trailblazer who perfected the art of comedic calypso.
