Winston Devines had made agreat contribution to our culture during his time , and many of the calypso which he composed , are very much alive today , and will be for a a long time in the future . We are so fortunate for such talent , He will always be remembered . R I P

Thank you so much for this! He deserves so much more recognition.

Goosebumps all over! This is the most powerfull illustration of what concrete creativity and thematic organization IS. Every primary school teacher should study this programme and implement his strategies in planning and implementing the 2013 curriculum. Moreover, this interview is proof that 'to be universal you must be truly local.' Thank you, Alvin. This is gold.

An unsung hero of Trinidad & Tobago Music and Culture...very important work by the producer of the series, Alvin Daniel 👌🏽

Keep them coming I am loving them I love Calypso

Beautiful piece of music.

I really enjoyed this interview.

This was very educational and inspiring. This gentleman was a genius. And to think I have so many songs of his. Blessings. Sad to say R.I.P. A master in his own right, equal to the Beethoven and Mozart of Classical but in calypso .

Great interview RIP my God Brother and cousin

“I have Machel in mind right now, maybe in the next two weeks ah go fix up Machel with 2 songs.” This is elite….

Winsford Devygins is the best calypso composer musical impresario

Good record one of my CD

Great piece. Is it possible to post the whole videos of King Austin performances?

He was a genius he should be given a Post humous degree for his contribution to Trinibago art form.

He says he had an agreement with Sparrow not to claim the song, but he spent the rest of his life saying Sparrow never acknowledged him. Hmmm

Are the dates quoted the actual date of the interview..it is needed for a real throw back
