Love this tune 💯 + Hitman Jam & Whine .. quality tunes!

I got my wires crossed when I listed the arranger and musicians on this album. This was an album I did with Latumba at Semp Studios in Woodbrook, Trinidad. I pulled the incorrect data from my notes a few years ago, which I now correct. My apologies. There are 8 songs on the album:: Benna Soca, Do you get the picyure, Jam and Wine, Heritage, Hit Man, Independance, The Spirit, Culture.

Beautiful song

In my feelings with my childhood calypso hero

My tune omg I remember the first time I heard this'll

Nov 1st 2021 and just found this channel. Loving these songs by La Tumba. I was too young at the time but wow! I can appreciate his songs now.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇦🇬❤

I was a kid when this song came out but I grew up with it. The writing and execution is superb! This song evokes such love and patriotism for my country! Kudos all these years later for this cultural gem Shelly Tobitt and all involved! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬❤❤❤

If you know of anyone who have that song from King Swallow entitled PUSH YA PUSH DEY, let me know

Now this is what we call music .. Oh yea! Nice work Tobitt

I was so excited when I came up on this song I grew up with this what's up with him Is he still around

Damn I am tears right now I miss Antigua... 2020

Good tune this, "Man must learn to care". This was his year; capturing the crown in 1984.

A people are known by their culture A people are known by their past The past determines the future From the present we could forecast And that is why in Antigua We must rectify our history And remove all dem false heroes Retarding our destiny So that is why we must now Proclaim our own And drop all those false names That aliens imposed upon we Let’s reclaim our own history English names like St. George and St. John Falmouth, Willikies, and Codrington They don’t reflect our background Call them Short Shirt Village or Swallow t’ung (town) cho. Sons of the Soil also brought fame Proudly reclaim our true heroes name (x2) The true heritage of a people Are manifest in their language Yes, it helps them to be able To name their streets and village Their forts and all their buildings Their schools and institutes Draws upon the strength of their siblings And upon their native roots So that is why We must now delete Drake, Hawkins, and Nelson Street Shirley Heights and Nelson’s Dockyard Our progress these names retard Instead of using King George pasture Why not Andy Roberts, the fast bowler All cricket fans should be found On Vivi Richards recreation ground Cho. Sons of the Soil also brought fame Proudly reclaim our true heroes name (x2) Our children should know that John Hawkins, Horatio Nelson, and Drake They were thieves who committed sins, tiefing gold for England’s sake And to remind us of their misrule, we have Princess Margaret School England is headed for a downfall and we still have Elizabeth Hall So that is why Coolidge airport should be named after Vere Bird who fought Holberton Hospital, you see, should be named after Prince Ramsey And it is time we name our streets Ernest Williams, Gwen Tonge and Dr. Heath Her Majesty prison, that’s a waste, why not call that Bulgarney place Cho. Sons of the Soil also brought fame Proudly reclaim our true heroes name (x2) That big tambran (tamarind) tree in Bethesda Where slaves planned to kill and plunder The oristocrat (aristocrat) and massa Name that plot after Tim Hector And in the field of education I can recall Ms. Mary Piggott, Hubert Henry, Gordon, and Kirnon We should make sure their names don’t rot English Harbour should be named here on after George Weston, the historian Our court houses should be named as well; Gerry Watts and Time Kendall No more Scot Row when I go shopping Why not O’Reilly or Morris Martin …remove that white pirate and put the picture of King Obstinate Cho. Sons of the Soil also brought fame Proudly reclaim our true heroes name (x2) Maurice Hope, put his picture in a frame Proudly reclaim our true heroes name Our carnival queens, I mean, we have some lovely dames Proudly reclaim our true heroes name Leo Gore, he is good at any game Proudly reclaim our true heroes name … Samuel, on his grave we should light a flame Proudly reclaim our true heroes name

Another breakout album. Engineers would set their room and instruments by this and the Endurance Album back in the 70s

All dem Tobago girl

Yes I

2017 and still listening.

One of my all time favourite calypsonians. Perhaps a bit ahead of his time. When the norm was ""jam and wine" he concentrated on soul searching lyrics. This one was straight from the heart.

takes me back to my childhood..my favorite lyricist.

Love this. The melody and lyrics are contagious.

Classic !!
