Did you know that Crazy was the first artist to sing a “Parang Soca” song (mixing soca and hymnal Latin music) in 1978? His vast repertoire of hits has made him an icon in T&T and internationally. Here he is singing “Yvonne” at the Superstars Concert in Toronto 🇨🇦 on November 15, 2025. A 1970s innovator still touring internationally in 2025 underscores the durability of 🇹🇹 T&T’s artistic excellence and shows how T&T creativity ages well, travels well and continues to inspire. | Consulate Gen
