In this unforgettable episode, we sit with the legendary David Michael Rudder—poet, prophet, and one of the most powerful voices to emerge from Trinidad & Tobago. Rudder speaks openly about his journey through music, from the early days with Charlie’s Roots to his solo classics that became anthems for the Caribbean spirit.
He shares deeply personal reflections on living with polio since childhood, his recent Parkinson’s diagnosis, and how he continues to push forward with courage and grace.
Rudder also talks about bridging the generational gap, why connecting with today’s youth matters to him, and the enduring power of calypso to tell our stories and shape our future.
It’s a rare, moving, and inspiring conversation with a national treasure.
