Berbician Bunty Singh copped the Chutney King title for a second time at this year’s National Chutney competition at the Leonora Ground on the West Coast Demerara on February 18.
The artiste, who also won the crown in 2016, garnered the top points again in what he described as an easy victory when he competed against nine other finalists.
He stormed the Leonora stage with his song “Banawarie Married to Poonwasie”. The song speaks of the Dulaha (Hindi for groom) getting married to the Dulahin (Hindi for bride). As is the traditional custom, a ‘luckni’ which is usually an old woman would sleep between the couple on the wedding night. However, there came a twist in the song when the Dulaha fell for the Luckni. While Bunty sang of how the Luckni stole the groom’s heart, his usual power performance that he’s widely known for, stole the hearts of everyone else present there.
