- Barabas is Swallow's response to Short Shirt's song about him "Beauty of the Beast". This one is like a scalpel. Wow! The dynamic duo does it again, The Genius Leston Paul and The Mighty Swallow.
The Mighty Swallow is undoubtedly the most preeminent "Authentic Soca - True Soca" artist of all time. Check out the string of hits referenced in the "Tribute to Swallow" docu-video, and many of the famous hits were not even mentioned. The Mighty Swallow won the Calypso Monarch title four times, the Road March title five times, and the Caribbean Calypso King Crown on several occasions in Antigua, his native land. Antigua has given the calypso world many celebrated calypsonians, including "The Monarch King Short Shirt" and "The Ultimate Showman, King Obstinate." These calypsonians bore constant recognition in their home country. However, their international prominence seemed short-lived.
On the other hand, it was Swallow who kept Antigua in the limelight by pumping out international hits, year after year. Surprisingly, Antigua and Antiguans, for the most part, are oblivious to the prowess of their most prominently recognized and unrivaled international artist of the '80s and '90s. It was "The Monarch King Short Shirt" who pry-opened the international calypso door with his immortal hit Tourist Leggo. However, it was The Mighty Swallow who kept the door open for over two decades. Then Antigua gave the "soca/calypso/jam band world" the ever-popular Burning Flames, who rose to the pinnacle of international status. But, in the annals of Socalypso, only one man reigns supreme; all hail the "King of The Golden Soca Era," Sir. Rupert Philo, "The Mighty Swallow."
As per The Sunshine Caribbean Awards database/records, The Mighty Swallow has been nominated for the Sunshine Caribbean Music Awards 10 times; he won five times (the list of nominations and awards is included below).

Murder, me no able wid you. Short Shirt (Monarch), wha you trouble he for? You know that nobody can cuss more than them people, from Wilikeis. Swallow is the best at these types of calypsos. SWALLOW and THE MONARCH (Short Shirt) are THE BEST! Swallow and Short Shirt to the world!
"Nam you food like fowl, and wipe your mouth on the ground..." MURDER! SWALLOW and SHORT SHIRT FOREVER! This is what you call true friendly rivalry. There is nothing personal here; it is all for the sake of the art form. SHORT SHIRT AND SWALLOW FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
