Guyanese cultural, musical and literary icon, the legendary Dave Martins passed away yesterday at the age of 90.
His wife Annette Arjoon Martins last evening posted on her Facebook page that she was “eternally grateful to have shared fifteen years of unconditional love, support and especially shared passions for everything Guyanese with my soul mate.”
Tributes poured in online for the man whose lyrics have made indelible memories for Guyanese and people across the Caribbean.
President Irfaan Ali expressed sadness at Martins’ passing as he reflected in a Facebook post, on the man he believes was “a true Caribbean icon”.
