My dad was from Trinidad and I'm so glad he introduced so many aspects of Trinidadian and Indian culture to me and my family---I especially love the music. Lol, this song is so dark but so catchy, reminds me of Copa Cabana lol
This song is more than just a great rhythm and melody, it is a serious social commentary of Trinidadians that even transcends to this time. Alcoholism, Subservient abuse. Domestic violence. Abandonment. All in a 3 minute Chutney song! Arguably the best song in it's genre!
This is a folk Song of Trinidad and Tobago, a song which sings out its Culture to all those who hear it. The Honorable Sundar Popo was a Masterful Story Teller, Song Writer and Lyricist. His ability to capture a feeling in a Song and Tell a story, is Genius. He Should have Received the Highest Awards of the Country and acknowledgment from the British empire, for his contribution to Music and the Cultural Advancement of The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and other Caribbean Nations.
I am from Trinidad and i remember this from my youth back there. It has been a loooong time but it brings back memories of that island where all races, skin colors, classes, creeds lived together peacefully, lovingly as brothers and sisters as God wanted us to. Thank you so very much for those memories. The island is still there but the people have changed, sorry to say.
U are so right.i am a guyanese living in Trinidad for the past 50 years.i can tell u trinidadians are the most wicked and selfish people.i have ever met.if u are a preety.long hair Indian.dont ever set foot in this country
As a British Guyanese, I remember my parents playing this song in our living room, when I was a child, and all the family dancing. Can't believe I found this song. Brings back so many memories, especially as both parents have since passed away.
Uncle sundar is literally my blood he was all about Carib culture Suriname/Guyana and our mother land trinidad he wanted our culture to be universal and he achieved it. Rip uncle
Trinidadians are a time capsule of Indian culture before Pakistan, and India even existed. It's a raw look at Hindu Culture that exists in a place you'd never expect. We love India and love Pakistan. We love our people.
@@teamtwiistz Trinidad had seen loads of indentured labourers from North India & Bengal too so Pakistan, India & Bangladesh all are proud to be a part of Trinidad & Tobago!🙌
@@mrrreddy8067 Obviously you are ignorant. He's talking about the official countries, not the land itself. This happened in the 1940s. Indentured laborers came to the rest of the world in the 1840s. Hindus and Muslims predominantly. Bengalis to Tamils to Punjabis and particularly UP and Biharis came. What he said makes logical sense.
And Sundar was the pioneer of this type of music. Combining Indian music, particularly Bihari and UP folk, with Western and Caribbean music. You can hear elements of all of those in this song and others. Traditional Chutney still retains the Indian Folk music.
I remember he sung this on the mastana tv show, In Trinidad, he won hands down, great memories of those days, listening to him now .Thanks for uploading this. One day I shall return on home to live again. But these old song can take me back there in my mind. Thanks Sunder, and RIP
this was the beginning of Sundar Popo! Still a favorite for a long time to come, Hail Chutney! Sundar, my fellow villager, Hail Barrackpore, Trinidad & Tobago!
This is the first chutney song that I can remember, I was just a little girl when it burst onto the scene, and to me is the mother of all chutney in Trinidad and Tobago. Today I sing the bits I can remember to my children to tickle them. :-) Thank you for uploading!
The first for me too , the first wedding I could remember , in FREDDY St Aranjuez , it had just come out and was being played all day . Loved it then and now , story sad but ....... ! Did not think off the real words back then .
lol i remember when my dad used to play this in his car and be singing along and then when I grew older i was asking about this song and I FINALLY found it I LOVE THIS SONG
proud Trinidadian...though I think we need to revive original Bhojpuri music...time for indo-trinis to stop singing crap...maybe then our music would be greater appreciated.
THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG NANA AND NANEE. The two people who inspired the lyrics of the song. Balroop and Mangree Beharry.They are pictured with their son Pollard. Nana was Balroop and Nanee was Mangree. They resided at Mahadeo Trace, Tim Shop, Debe. They were cane cutters at Monkey Town Sugar Estate. Every morning @4:00 they would go to work on Nana’s bicycle , Nanee would sit on the bar. Nana did enjoy a bit of the “white one”. They had 3 children, Leela, Polo and Pollard. They all migrated to Montreal, Canada. Leela got married to Lalchan Sahadeo of Granville. Lalchan was a local singer and dabbled in composing local songs. He and his family settled with his in-laws in Debe in the late 60’s. His children called Balroop and Mangree, Nana and Nanee. Sundar Popo worked with Balroop and Mangree at the Sugar Estate. Lalchan and his family were preparing to migrate to Montreal about the time he composed a song about his mother-in- law and father-in-law. Lalchan left this song with Sunder Popo before he migrated to Canada with his family. Sundar Popo recorded this song in 1969 as Nana and Nanee. The rest is history now. The house that Nana and Nanee lived in is still there, the 3rd house on the right side in Mahadeo Race, Debe. Nana died in Trinidad, Nanee died in Montreal where all her children had migrated to. The sons have passed on. Leela is still alive but Lalchan has passed on. Sadly it is alleged that he was never given recognition or credit for the song Nana and Nanee or received any royalties. Thank you Bobby and Anand Balroop for the picture. IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW. IF YOU DID NOT KNOW THEN NOW YOU KNOW.
@surinamheritage Wow ,, this is fantastic. Bhojpuri Dialect. So any one from Eastern Side of India , say Bihar or Baliya etc can undertand Sarnami language also ??
@drsumantr All Hindoestani people with Indian roots are speaking Sarnami in Surinam. The Sarnami language is very close related to the bhopuri dialect.
Are there two versions of this song? I know a different version that has more music and is a slower tune. It starts with a slow lament before the song starts and talks about puncheon and daru.
My dad was from Trinidad and I'm so glad he introduced so many aspects of Trinidadian and Indian culture to me and my family---I especially love the music. Lol, this song is so dark but so catchy, reminds me of Copa Cabana lol

Such a haunting and sorrowful ballad. Certainly my favourite Sundar Popo tune.
People don’t understand the darkness behind this song... great song
I guess he was shearing what it was like back then.
Indeed
my late grandma used to sing this as a lullaby for me... love and respect from Mauritius 🇲🇺
we all in this together brother man
how is it their in Mauritius
@@codybalram3908 we're also descendants of indentured Indian labourers.
@@kunalrajiah5853 Yeah...I am from Trinidad
From Surinam: Remembring the old days, so beautiful. Sunder Popo Ji was a Legend.
I am Sundar Popo biggest fan in America
No, it's me
We have a version of this song in South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️ love it
So proud of our Trini brother who gave us Indians some beautiful music. The late great Sundar Popo ji.
I met him a couple of times while he was performing at Calypso City in the late 90s and had the privilege of shaking his hand. Uber talented.
Sundar Popo was a legend from Trinidad, he deserves all the recognition for his contribution to indian culture in Trindiad
This song brings back alot of memories
This is golden, who’s here in 2024??
I'm here! I remember this song from decades ago.
I know this song since as a child.. sweet memories that never faded.
In Mauritius 🇲🇺 we've got our version Nana Nani ghar se nikle boutik chale jaai 😁
Mo nani, ti p sante sa comme lullaby pu nous
As a Pakistani this is a very interesting listening too, Hindi lyrics and ythem mixed with Caribbean beats and lyrics
