A 2018 calypso release from eight times Calypso Monarch, Findley “Scholar” Jeffrey in which he blamed Chairman of the Spicemas Corporation (SMC), Kirk Seetahal for the cancellation of Panorama 2017 is causing quite a stir on the island.
Scholar defends “Pum Pum”
The song named “Pum Pum” which was first sung publicly at the Legends in Concert show held at the Trade Centre on July 7 focused on the Panaroma fiasco.
According to the song, the downgrading of Panorama to give way to the hosting of the privately-run Pure White event is evidence that the SMC boss does not like the “pum pum” sound of the pan but prefer the “bam bam” sound in the bass of the songs which were sung at the Pure White event.
The Social media went viral after the song was released with many concluding that “Pum Pum” sought to depict Seetahal as a homosexual.
Speaking to THE NEW TODAY newspaper in an interview last Tuesday, Scholar said that the song was written because of the disappointment he felt with the cancellation of Panorama in 2017.
