Legendary Chutney singer Anand Yankaran dies

Chutney icon Anand Yankaran is dead.
Loop understands that Yankaran died on Monday morning from a suspected heart attack.
He had been ailing for some time following a stroke in 2008 in New York where he had migrated.
Speaking to Loop about his passing, George Singh, founder of the Chutney Soca Monarch said Yankaran last performed in 2014 in the competition.
"Anand Yankaran was a legend, an icon. He was someone in the same league as Sundar Popo. When you speak about Sundar, you speak about Anand, they carved out what is today known as Chutney and Chutney Soca. He still has songs that are played in parties up to today, we are really going to miss him, he is a great loss for Trinidad and Tobago," said Singh.
Yankaran is known for a string of hits, among them “Malineyaâ€, “Humsa Bolawayâ€, “Laylo Layloâ€, Zndabad Trinbago†“Gunguroo Bajay†“Indra Puri Sayâ€, “Soch Samajh Abhimanâ€, “Ranga Dallâ€, “Bola Babaâ€, “Kya Kar Mai†and “Janay Mahaâ€. His biggest hit, according to Singh is "Nanda Baba".
We will update this story as more details emerge.

Borse .
If I remember well , my uncle got married in 1960 and Anand father Issac and another
well known singer ( don't recall his name at the moment) came on the Saturday nite.
They had an Indian orchestra under that bamboo Tent , (Cedar Hill, the Sonny Ramadin
home village, where Sonny was born).
They sang till 4am; drinking rum as they went along. The more intoxicated they became
the better they sounded. I will always remember Issac Yankaran the golden voice .
Quote:Isaac Yankarran (1932 -1969). When, on the Ith February 1969, the population learnt of the death of Isaac Yankarran there was widespread grief. Although Isaac passed away at the young age of 37, he had already made his mark as one of the finest singers of Indian melodies on this side of the Indian Diaspora. Tributes poured in from everywhere.
I never met Anand.
Quote:Sudama came to meet; his pal Krishna (from Mathura, long ago), O my Lord (Ram).
[Sudama was sent by his wife, Sushila - but had only enough courage to go to the gate
