http://www.looptt.com/content/legendary-chutney-singer-anand-yankaran-diesChutney icon Anand Yankarran is dead.
Loop understands that Yankarran 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 Yankarran 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.
Yankarran is known for a string of hits, among them “Malineya”, “Humsa Bolaway”, “Laylo Laylo”, Zndabad Trinbago” “Gunguroo Bajay” “Indra Puri Say”, “Soch Samajh Abhiman”, “Ranga Dall”, “Bola Baba”, “Kya Kar Mai” and “Janay Maha”. His biggest hit, according to Singh is "Nanda Baba".

With a statement like that he must despise carnival as well as soca.

One can argue though that his biggest hit (Nanda Baba) was actually an existing Bhajan to Lord Krishna that he took and made into a chutney (not dissimilar to the Ravi Bs and Raymonds of today).
Based on current CSM rules he would actually be ineligible to even enter given the agreement between Sat and promoters a few years ago that no chutney should be based on a bhajan.
On that note his funeral is today from the house of mourning Exchange Housing Development, Couva from 9.30am and thence to the Waterloo Cremation Site.

If he lived next door to you and the outside woman is your neighbour then both Rakesh and his outside woman are neighbours as well??
