If Sparrow Say So...

Event Date(s): 12/02/2014 - 26/02/2014

Location: Various


IF SPARROW SAY SO… is a series of five (5) lecture-performances in appreciation of Trinidadian calypsonian, the Mighty Sparrow, presented by Canboulay Productions in collaboration with The UWI. 

Sparrow’s recent illness and his survival give us an opportunity to show appreciation for the work he has done on behalf of Caribbean people in general, and Trinidad and Tobago in particular.

 For over five decades he has represented the region internationally as the undisputed ‘King of Calypso’. These 5 lecture performances allow us to explore not only his expansive repertoire of songs, but to plumb, beyond performance, the meanings the man has etched on our cultural landscape. The series will each be based on a selected aspect of Sparrow’s work.  

Cost: $100 per lecture
