Civicalypso returns to the CIVICUS World Assembly
The Civicalypso became something of a theme song at the 7th CIVICUS World Assembly held in Glasgow in May 2007. The calypso was presented as a surprise to the World Assembly. Encore after encore for the song allowed little else to be played at the gala dinner that brought the five-day event to a close. In 2007 the song was presented by the Network of NGOS of Trinidad and Tobago for the Advancement of Women to CIVICUS, represented by Co-ordinator Hazel Brown, and directors Ellen O’Malley Camps and Dr Kris Rampersad. It was produced by the Trinidad-based Network of NGOS of Trinidad and Tobago for the Advancement of Women in conjunction with the Brown Cotton Theatre Company, composed and sung by Wayne Lee Sing and arranged by Roger Israel
