Reply to "TAAN SINGING IN GUYANA IS DYING:"

Guyana has produced countless taan singers and musicians. Some of the more recent big names include the legendary Tillack from Port Mourant, who was probably the most popular Indian singer in British Guiana in the 1940s-50s.  Others are Balgobinsingh Lalljee, Dasrath Mangru, Mohit Mangru, Kalush Budhu, Babolall, Roopan Kandool, Tailor Bisnauth Ramjattan from No. 47 village, Ramdass (from No. 58 village), Goonwah, James Babulall, Hari Das, Kishun Kissoon, Sudama, Ramroop (from No. 68 village) Vincent Morgan, etc.  Top dholak players were Ramdhani, Haribudhu (from No. 59 village), and Rudy Sasenarine among others.  Among legendary performers, the name Dashrat Mangru was very popular because he had an amazing vocal range.
