## Resource

Prime Minister Mia Mottley is rallying the music and culture scene to safeguard the soul of Crop Over, warning that traditional calypso and soca are being sidelined by newer sounds. While praising the global reach of modern artists, she insists these classics must retain their space — especially on government platforms like CBC, which she says must prioritize fair airplay. Mottley challenges DJs as sole gatekeepers and champions the vital role of older audiences, arguing that balance, not erasure, is key to preserving the festival’s legacy and ensuring its vibrant future.
