To kick off The Guyana Annual’s Celebrate and Remember series we feature the great folklorist Wordsworth McAndrew who passed in 2008. Through his tireless work, he helped Guyanese “celebrate our common roots”. As stated in his obituary “His work is not for one generation.” Learn a bit about him here.

“Wordworth McAndrew was a folklorist, poet, performer and radio personality. He had an absolute love for Guyanese “culchuh” and infinite interest in every variant of every tradition (queh queh, obeah, cumfa, dig dutty), song, story, game, way of cooking, eating, celebrating and so on that Guyanese of every ethnic group had inherited and transformed. ‘Mac’ was unparalleled and his gifts to Guyana considerable.” (Rickford, 2008) “He gave us a great sense of our own self-worth.” (Sanders, 2008)

Information contained in this video was sourced from the writings of Vibert Cambridge, Roy Brummel and Wordsworth McAndrew’s Homegoing Celebration manuscript, 2008.

Video features music from the Emmel Singers – Bamboo Fire And Other Folk Songs Of Guyana - HAS 1187 LP, Terry Gajraj - Indian Wedding (Ketcha Bai & ketcha gal) and audio from 'Wordsworth McAndrew' by editfilm1 on YouTube (April, 2008).

Photos and a painting were sourced from rosiemcandrewwriting.com. Portrait done by John Criswick of Mac in his Blue Dashiki.
