That was the voice of Nevis’ Minister of Culture et.al, the Hon. Eric Evelyn. His sympathies came following the passing of Mr. Chesley “Faro” Davis.”
A release from Nevis’ Culturama Committee says he was a former member of the Nevis Culturama Committee and member of staff at the Department of Culture and later the Nevis Cultural Development Foundation.
The release mentioned “Chesley would be remembered as an outstanding son of the soil and one of Nevis’ most celebrated cultural icons.”
He served in various capacities on the Nevis Culturama Committee, especially for his work with the Culturama Junior Kaiso Contest. He chaired this sub-committee for many years and made a contribution to the development of many junior calypsonians on Nevis.
The Culturama Committee extended “sincere condolences to his surviving family, co-workers at the Department of Community Development and the Cotton Ground Community.”
