Calypsonian Terri Lyons Leaves a Mark in History with “Blessing”

Image
WATCH LIVE  - Skinner Park Performance - Dimanche Gras Performance - Carnival Lagniappe Performance Official Music Video Review - I actually heard the song before I saw any visuals, video or performance.  but immediately, I felt seen as a Woman - especially as a woman of color...we know all too well what it means to be “tired” or “fed” up whether with disturbances within family or in the home, on the job or in one’s community - power of spoken word will always override negative talk, backbiting and gossip. This is why I've stated - “…Terri Lyons understood the Assignment”. She among the other contenders for the the Calypso Monarch crown performed her song over the course of several rounds at different locations, each time coming with a different approach, set design, supporting performers. -but, it was the Queens Park Savannah at Grand Stand where Terri took the crown during her award winning performance of “Blessing” with a humble yet bold demonstration of Trinbagonian pride,...

  I've been getting around town pretty well since this is my 5th time in Trinidad & Tobago.  Meeting up with Friends and Family. Enjoying the street food and vibrant city life.

Go Check it Out. -but, for my First Official Tour in Trinidad, I wanted to share this with you. I signed up to discover  Piparo with the National Trust Fund which is stationed amongst one of the Magnificent 7 (Mielle Fluer) Houses there across from the Savannah.
