Rum is my lover - Perpetuating a stereotype.
These stills are taken from a local television show that promotes the culture of Trinidad and Tobago. Once a week or so, it slots in a chutney video count down in a cheesy commentary format.

Making low-budget Soca Chutney videos as such seen on Synergy TV requires the following; Rum, a river, a beach, roll-on-roll off cars, Indian dancers in costume, wedding guests, family and friends,feuded neighbors, a iron pot for a cookup, domestic animals such as fowls (cocks) or cats (catt) and more rum to incite fights and cutlass chopping.

Rum is meh lover and I don cyare, so we drinking today and we drinking forever, ah Tequila or Beer (akela hoon main)

But I don cyare what people say, Ah drinking today and we drinking forever, akela hoon main

Rum kill meh muda
Rum kill meh fada
Rum kill meh whole family
Rum kill meh broda
Rum kill meh sista
Now it want to come and kill me

But I don cyare what people say, oh ah drinking today and ah drinking forever, ah akela hoon main

It has been brought to attention that the lyric akela hoon main means (I am alone)


The star Ravi Bissambhar from the short video clip is a bit of a celebrity himself, and as he was interviewed by the VJ, a older woman kept accosting him then uttered the words, "I want to rape yuh." One wonders why it was not edited out. The whole idea of promoting alcoholism with East Indians equals the vulgarity of mainstream music which perpetuates the stereotype of young black men and women.
