Staying on the course he has adopted over the last several years, Roger ‘Young Bill Rogers’ Hinds competed in both the Calypso and Chutney Monarch competitions this year, and added one more title to his collection when he won the calypso competition.
Hinds, who also scored third place in the chutney competition, said that he is both grateful and humble as he continues his journey to keep both genres of music alive, and not only at Mashramani time which is when they are usually highlighted.
Hinds won the Calypso Monarchy with his song “Yuh Can’t Stap the Old Time Days” where a contrast between Guyana in the 90s and present day was made. For the Chutney Monarch competition his entry was “She want an Oil Man” which aimed at promoting and showing the great value of Guyana’s developing oil industry.
