Sanction Blood's Song - "Wuk You" for Airplay in Barbados

We, the undersigned, call on all radio stations and networks in Barbados in addition to the National Cultural Foundation (if applicable) to reconsider their position on Blood's new song "Wuk You" and other local productions which may have been banned for similar reasons.

We also remind these stations that they continue to play degrading songs such as "Smack That" and dub songs which explicitly speak of "smoking marijuana" or causing physical harm to "batty men" or homosexuals and we will not endorse such music - particularly when our own local artists are banned from the airwaves for less violent, less suggestive music.

We the undersigned further remind the authorities that our calypso music is one of the few truly "100% Bajan" products produced today. Banning our music directly infringes on our ability to celebrate our cultural phenomenon - Kadooment - without political red tape. Continuing to ban our local artists but allowing other violent and sexual music on our radio waves will reduce national morale, and we the undersigned, are dissatisfied with this double standard.

Finally, we the undersigned have listened to Blood's song, "Wuk You", do not find it offensive, and believe it should be permitted on our radio waves.
