Opposition Leader Penelope Beckles is calling on the Government to educate themselves on the history of calypso.
She made the comment yesterday as she addressed the continuing controversy over the audio trouble which calypsonian Helon Francis encountered during the Calypso Monarch final on Sunday and Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s response to public criticism of TTT over the situation.
Most of Francis’s rendition of Don’t Forget was not heard on the station due to audio problems. TTT apologised to listeners to the show, saying the situation was due to technical issues. However, Francis is unconvinced about what happened to him, with the public also suggesting it was censorship sanctioned by the Government, which Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister Nicholas Morris has denied.
