Sparrow was born in the fishing village of Grand Roy, Grenada, on July 9, 1935. He moved to Trinidad with his mother, his father having relocated there in 1937, and grew up in Port of Spain.His songs such as Jean and Dinah, May May, Sa Sa Yea, Unity, Melda O, Jail, Pay as You Earn 'PAYE', Age is Just a Number, Drunk and Disorderly, Wanted Dead or Alive, Human Rights, Sexy Marajhin, Capitalism Gone Mad, The Lizard, The More the Merrier, and countless others, are just some of his best known and best praised songs. His songs have put him in the spotlight and earned him worldwide recognition. He is still a prolific performer today, and shows no sign of stopping.The Mighty Sparrow has a string of credits to his name. Chief of the Yorubas, which means "Chief Omo Wale of Ikoy" as he is known throughout Nigeria, and in New York, the late Mayor Ed Koch proclaimed March 18 the Mighty Sparrow Day. With honourary doctorate degrees, doctor of letters from the University of the West Indies, he was inducted into the Sunshine Awards Calypso and Steelband Music Hall of Fame on June 24. Then Brooklyn borough president, Howard Folder, proclaimed June 24, Mighty Sparrow Day. We can take some beauty lessons from him too, especially when it comes to keeping his great smile. His face is still instantly recognizable by multiple generations of fans. The man is a fashion icon and trendsetter within the calypso and soca music industry. There should be a musical about his life; let's hope that someone will produce it soon. Dr Slinger Francisco, the legendary Mighty Sparrow, or as he is fondly known "Birdie", a West Indian calypso icon, celebrates his 81st birthday on Saturday.

My mama always used to tell me: ‘If you can’t find somethin’ to live for, you best find somethin’ to die for.’ – Tupac Shakur

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive. Never surrender. – Tupac Shakur

I‘m not saying I’m gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world. – Tupac Shakur

This fast life soon shatters, cause after all the lights and screams, nothing but my dreams matter. – Tupac Shakur

The seed must grow regardless of the fact that it’s planted in stone. – Tupac Shakur

Behind every sweet smile, there is a bitter sadness that no one can see and feel. – Tupac Shakur

We was young and we was dumb, but we had heart. – Tupac Shakur

There are multiple theories about the origins of the word ska. #ErnestRanglin claimed that the term was coined by musicians to refer to the "skat! skat! skat!" scratching guitar strum. Ranglin asserted that the difference between R&B and ska beats is that the former goes "chink-ka" and the latter goes "ka-chink". Another explanation is that at a recording session in 1959 produced by Coxsone Dodd, double bassist Cluett Johnson instructed guitarist Ranglin to "play like ska, ska, ska", although Ranglin has denied this, stating "Clue couldn't tell me what to play!" A further theory is that it derives from Johnson's word skavoovie, with which he was known to greet his friends. Jackie Mittoo insisted that the musicians called the rhythm Staya Staya, and that it was Byron Lee who introduced the term "ska". Derrick Morgan said: "Guitar and piano making a ska sound, like 'ska, ska,"

When we think about African Spirituality we enter into an arena that is foreign to us. We have been told that Africa and what it has to offer is evil. We have been told that we have no connection with Africa and its spiritual system. We now walk around with no sense of self and worshipping Gods that don’t serve us. We have been giving a concept of spirituality from our oppressor and now we don’t understand the basics of spirituality or reality… Zankhu Ziaweet will be taking us into the initiatic Mystery camps in Africa to expose to us our Ancestral Perspective of African mystery system...
