HERMAN "CUPID" FRANCIS

SONG 1: Beyond Black and White

SONG 2: 20/20 Cricket World

THE STORY: The veteran nabbed his second calypso monarch crown, exactly 10 years after he won his first. Beyond Black and White addressed Barack Obama's improbable victory and the fact he is the son of an interracial relationship. 20/20 Cricket World used cricket as a metaphor for the world's obsession with instant gratification.
