NO AFRICAN RADIO STATION written by Sheldon Manoo (03/05/2000)

I am a Trinbagonian

Dat’s all I’ll ever be

There is something Ah cyah understan’

Dat goin’ on in meh country

We hah over 12 radio stations

Airin’ in we nation

And meh African brothers n’ sisters

Are de majority ar de dwellers

And we hah four stations da play msic from India

An dough Ah love da

Ah wan to hear even one playing music from Africa

Cause Ah love da

Now doh tink Ah tryin’ to push any raciality

Da kinda tinkin’ it just not in me

All dat Ah statin’ is meh observation

With so many claimin’ to be Africans we hah no African Music radio Staions. Yeah

We hah over 12 radio stations

Airin’ in we nation

And meh African brothers n’ sisters

Are de majority ar de dwellers

And we hah four stations da play msic from India

An dough Ah love da

Ah wan to hear even one playing music from Africa

Cause Ah love da

Sure I would like to hear music from Russia, Japan, China, Holland, France, Belgium, Germany

Even though de occupants wit ancestors from dese places are a tiny minority

Ah just observe dat is ar strange situation

That we eh hah no African Music Radio Station. Cause

We hah over 12 radio stations

Airin’ in we nation

And meh African brothers n’ sisters

Are de majority ar de dwellers

And we hah four stations da play msic from India

An dough Ah love da

Ah wan to hear even one playing music from Africa

Cause Ah love da
