Days ago, the Berbice reggae artiste, “Mystic” released an online video of a Bartica pastor re-singing his 2019 hit single, “Live Like We At De Cricket.”
Rice farmer Romeo Nermal wrote the song to urge unity and harmony among Guyanese, outside of the cricket field. As the Amazon Warriors, Guyana has participated in five finals of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) but never won the title, coming a disappointing second including last year, when passionate fans in their green and gold, swore the players would top the regional tournament. The team managed third in 2013 and 2017.
“Never let politicians come and change we,” Mystic sang in raw dialect, “Tell dem no, we nah deh pon dah (Tell them no, we not in that).” He warned, “Never let them come and divide (us), that is the only way that they can really rule…”
