  • Celebrating of the life and works of Siewdass Sadhu - this is a tale of an indentured labourer who stood up for his beliefs and challenged the mighty British Empire.
    History-Lypso - a historical event told in the form calypso - the traditional music of Trinidad & Tobago. "Temple in the Sea" is musical amalgamation of the sound of the pan / steelpan with the sounds of instruments like the dhantal, the dholak, the sitar and the harmonium.
    It is also a message to the next generation - never give up, follow your dreams, your passions and your aspirations.

    I attended the temple about three to four times when I lived in Trinidad and in my opinion I was amazed as how it was built. I still would visit whenever I am in Trinidad.

      @@shakti8550 Thanks a lot. I try to make my songs as close to reality as I can. There were some historical details that were unclear - the research gave conflicting information - so I had to compose the lyrics in a "vague" way in order not to say something that might be historically correct.

      Thanks. I apreciate your comments. A lot of our history has been neglected, omitted from our history books and therefore lost. I guess the people in charge don't want the general public to know the facts. Have you seen my video "The Hosay Massacre"? It is the same story - history left out of the history books.

    Hello George. How timely! Today (June 19) is the celebration of Juneteenth. I've taken the liberty of forwarding your video to my contacts here in Canada, the US and even in Trinidad. I was totally ignorant of the story behind the mandir. I always learn something from your songs and I especially like your facial expressions to emphasize the words or actions. I also appreciate the setup of your surroundings to bring the viewer into your realm. You are an epic storyteller in song and rhythm. Thank you for sharing the talents with which you have been blessed.❤
