Anthony Gabby Carter (1948 - ) is a living Barbadian cultural icon best known for his artistry through the lens of folk music and calypso. A thorough examination of Gabbys oeuvre will fit him squarely into the movement of resistance art.
This presentation seeks to delve into the creative process to interrogate what were the sparks that ignited some of Gabbys masterpieces, especially, the hits Jack, Culture and the iconic Wuk-up. Scientists across the globe are now examining what happens in the brain during this so-called creative process and we are beginning to gain some interesting insights from the likes of Professor Charles Limb.
Dr. John Hunte, the current cultural officer for dance at the National Cultural Foundation of Barbados, in his own work, has been interrogating and advancing the issues surrounding the dance form wuk-up in Barbadian culture. As such, this paper posits that Gabby is the embodiment of the total performer who does not separate his voice, his pen and his dance all in an effort to reclaim and tell the story of his Africanity. The three become one in his completeness of performance, space and messaging. Through Gabbys work, we see the emergence and/or re-presentation of wuk-up as a critical movement in the cultural and social resistance of a post-independent Barbados.
