This is the only recording my coutryman Mohkam made, he mentioned about police and tragically his life was cut short by a trigger happy policeman in front of Grove police station.
Moks the last time Isaw you was infront of Guyana stores and you were speaking out against the PNC regime.
You were ONE Afro Guyanese who sang Indian songs better than Indos, may Allah give you a resting place.
Gone but not forgotten.

I even remebered Mathew Allen the man had some harsh words for the regime on hiss radio program after he learnt that Mohkam was killed.
May God rest Moks and Mathew souls, two good ole pals of mine.

Chutney makes the music
- BHOJPURI & CALYPSO MERGE IN DIASPORA CONCERT GROUP?S REPERTOIRE
NISHA LAHIRI

D?Bhuyaa Saaj performs at GD Birla Sabhagar on Wednesday. Picture by Pradip Sanyal
Their forefathers were shipped to far-off lands by a cruel regime, as indentured labourers. About 150 years later, their descendants, although free from shackles, have not forgotten the pain and humiliation of slavery. But their music is a celebration of life.

D?Bhuyaa Saaj is a group of musicians from Trinidad and Tobago, part of the Indian community in the West Indian island nation. Their ancestors, originally from Bihar, were taken to the islands by the British to work in the sugarcane fields. Although they don?t speak Bhojpuri anymore, they have kept alive the folk music from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

On Wednesday evening, the nine-member troupe performed in Calcutta as part of the Remembered Rhythms festival. Through February, the American Institute of Indian Studies, with support from Ford Foundation, enabled three groups of Indian diaspora tour seven cities in the country, doing over 20 concerts. Each performance was accompanied by a talk on the history and evolution of the people and their art form. Earlier were Rivers of Babylon, a group of Jewish people of Indian descent, and Sidi Goma, members of the African-Indian community in Gujarat.

D?Bhuyaa Saaj?s performance, the last in the series, was a unique Chutney ? as the style of music is referred to ? of Bhojpuri and calypso, sung in Bhojpuri and English, of their past and their present, performing devotional and irreverently humorous songs. Here?s a sample: ?Aage aage nana chale/Nani go behind/Nana drinking white rum/Nani drinking wine... Nana smoking tobacco/Nani smoking cigarette/The rain starts to fall/And both of them get wet.?

At the end, the audience were on their feet, some even on stage, dancing to their hearts? content. There were wolf-whistles and applause aplenty. Some enthusiastic youngsters even had a lesson in the steel pan, a calypso instrument, after the concert. The mixed strains of Bhojpuri and Central American sounds seemed to do the trick.

?We don?t speak Bhojpuri any more, so all that we sing is by the ear. But we love this form of music and we perform quite often,? said Ajeet Praimsingh, leader of the group.

Chutney music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Chutney music is a form of music indigenous to the southern Caribbean (primarily Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and Suriname) which derives elements from soca and Indian filmi songs. The music was created by Indo-Caribbeans who were transported to the West Indies as indentured servants and later immigrants, during the 19th century. The chutney artist writes lyrics in either Hindi, Bhojpuri or English and then lays it on top of beats that come from soca and Hindi film songs. Some current chutney artists are Rikki Jai, Rakesh Yankaran, Devanand Gattoo, Heeralal Rampartap and the late Ramdew Chaitoe who composes the Surinamese based Baithak Gana. Among the best known examples of chutney music are Sundar Popo's Pholourie Beena Chutney, Sonny Mann's Lotalal, Vedesh Sookoo's Dhal Belly Indian, Anand Yankaran's Jo Jo, Neeshan 'D Hitman' Prabhoo's Mr. Shankar and Rikki Jai's Mor Tor. Chutney music is mostly popular among the Indian community in Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, and also the West Indian diaspora communities in Toronto, Canada, The Netherlands, New York and South Florida.

Chutney is an uptempo song, accompanied by dholak, harmonium and dhantal, played in rhythms imported from filmi, calypso or soca. Early chutney was religious in nature, though this is now rare outside of the Sai Baba Movement[citation needed]. Chutney is unusual in the predominance of female musicians in its early years, though it has since become mixed.
