‘A son of Guyana whose voice became our nation’s soul’

PRESIDENT Dr Irfaan Ali has paid tribute to veteran broadcaster and cultural icon Ron Robinson A.A., describing him as “a son of Guyana whose voice became part of our nation’s soul,” and whose contributions to broadcasting, theatre and satire helped shape the country’s cultural identity. Robinson died on Friday at his home at the age of 79.

In a heartfelt message posted to his official Facebook account, the President reflected on Robinson’s decades-long presence in the lives of Guyanese, noting that “for decades, Guyanese awoke to his mellifluous tones guiding us into each new day with trademark wit, unvarnished intelligence, and a rare grace that only true masters of the craft possess.”
