This has always been what calypso is all about. It is part of our culture..but for them to stop him from singing about things that are wrong in the country, is putting a muzzle on freedom of speech.

There's no freedom of speech in SVG. If you say a curse word in front of the police they can arrest, and charge you, even when you're not talking to them. Granted its not enforced, but if you upset the right person, they will.
