Dennis "Sprangalang" Hall
DENNIS "SPRANGALANG" HALL first appeared on National Television
Show "GAYELLE", as a charcter called "DRAXI" on
an item called "Cultral Sprangalang", the name didn't
stick. He wanted to be a teacher because he did not like what they
were teaching children in school in Trinidad and Tobago. He did
not become a schoolteacher, but he holds class on stage from observing
trends and people. In his inimitable style, Sprangalang makes serious
statements using humor.
Sprangalang is a comedian, historian, producer and recently, singer/composer.
Popular and approachable, people recognize and call on him to perform
in all settings. His work has a mostly Trinidadian character and
lies in its extremely local nature. "By accident, or whatever,
I recreate very near to the street" he says. That reality
comes not just from acute perception, but from the ability to translate
and communicate adroitly and humorously what he sees."
