Sundar Popo, born Sundarlal Popo Bahora on November 4, 1943, in Monkey Town, Barrackpore, Trinidad and Tobago, was a Trinidadian and Tobagonian musician. Raised in a family of musicians, Popo began singing bhajans at local mandirs and weddings from the age of 15. His breakthrough came in 1969 with the hit "Nana and Nani", which blended Trinidadian Hindustani and English lyrics to describe the daily lives of an Indian maternal grandmother and grandfather. This song revolutionized Indo-Caribbean music in Trinidad and Tobago. Popo released several albums, including Come Dance With The Champ (1979) and Sundar Fever (1985). He won numerous awards, including the National Hummingbird Medal of Trinidad and Tobago (silver) in 1993. His health declined due to diabetes-related complications, leading to his death on May 2, 2000.
