Tribute to the Late Mighty Sparrow who passed away on September 27, 2026
Not only did the Mighty Sparrow touch the hearts of all Trinbagonians, he touched the world. For instance, Mia Mottley, the Prime Minister of Barbados, captured the essence of who he was. "For seventy years, the Mighty Sparrow has been woven into our Caribbean civilisation. Listen to his recordings and you hear our history. Calypso gave the ordinary West Indian a voice. Sparrow carried it to the world with incomparable genius. Born in Grenada and raised in Trinidad, he belonged to all of us. Just months after losing our beloved Sir Garry, whose greatness Sparrow celebrated in song, we must now say goodbye to him too. Two extraordinary sons who made this Caribbean stand taller. To his family and the people of Grenada and Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados stands with you in sorrow and gratitude. Let our children hear him. Let them know that this brilliance came from among us. Even now, his words still echo. “Sparrow take over now.” You did, Birdie. You took your place in the heart of a civilisation, and there you will remain."
