Yay oh, bamba yay oh] [Oh ho, oh ho!] I say the load may look very heavy and the road may seem very long As you know success don't come easy, You got to work and struggle on...oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah! It is hard for someone to love you if you don't love yourself If we want we culture to break through, we got to lift the load for weself We must show more love for the things we own For their future is our concern.

@UpNorthNaturals yup. He sings gospel and yes he's a pastor. Just like the late Denyse Plummer. She went from singing calypso to singing gospel and she's a psalmist.
I cry listening to this in 2023...and see what Trinidad has become..😭
I miss Tambu on the music scene. Such a significant contribution he has made 🎉.
I’m hearing those live instruments through my headphones. Thanks it sweet for days.
Could never get enough of this song one of the best calpyso can't get nothing like them 80's Songs anymore best times ever.
A nation without a culture is a people without a soul. So true Tambu.

This is when soca was soca and calypso was calypso greatest music ever..........

I don't mind we practice the cultures that come from a foreign land
But we have our own thing right here
That needs even more attention...oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!
I am talking about calypso, steel pan and limbo dance
Tassa drumming is ours also, let's give their growing chance
We must show more love for the things we own
For their future is our concern.
So let we love [the calypso] and give praise [to the limbo]
And believe [in the steel pan] for the next [generation]
Let we love [our tassa], our own [people's culture]
When we look [to the future] is then we're on the road to a brand new mode.
I say a nation without a culture is a people without a soul
They'll have no identification
Like a fool in a wise man's world...oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!
