Happy Birthday Crazy

Crazy, my younger brother thinks that you are the greatest calypsonian to ever grace the stage. Because of his constant support for your music, I have also grown to admire your style of composition and choice of satire that has been part of the fabric of Calypso music. So to this end, I wish you a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"

Dear Pan Lovers, will you all support a drive to change Lazarri Street to honour Mr. Lennox "Bobby" Mohamed. Lazarri Street was the home of Cavaliers Steel Orchestra and is still the home of Mr. Mohamed. Bobby is the first arranger from the Southland that won a Panorama and is the youngest winning arranger ever at 22 years old. He led Cavaliers to (2) victories and (2) 2nd place finishes at five Panorama finals (1964, 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1969) Cavaliers did not defend their title in 1968 because the band was on tour in Venezuela. Bobby also led Cavaliers to (3) 3rd place finishes at the Classical Music Festival of 1964,1966 and 1967. He is the first arranger that qualified and placed with his own classical composition of "Revalations From Beyond" in 1967. Bobby is also the first arranger that changed from the major to the minor key at Panorama, introduced dimiuendos and crescendos, hence creating dynamics. We must keep the legacy of our Pan Pioneers alive.

Panorama 2k10

It is arguable but ....All Stars would have won the Panorama if MUSIC alone were the deciding factor. Talk about CREATIVITY in arrangement !!!!!! Despers, to a lesser extent, was also impressive in that regard.
