Trinidad and Tobago’s calypso fraternity is mourning the loss of two of its veteran entertainers within a week, following the death of celebrated cultural icon Bill Trotman on Wednesday evening at the age of 92.

Trotman’s passing comes just days after the death of The Mighty Wanderer (Peter Thyrill Herbert), 85, who died last Saturday.
