Description
CALYPSO Is The Goddess Of The Sea In Greek Mythology, & It Is Her Gentle Waves Lapping On Sandy Shores You Hear In The Lilting Rhythms And Sweet, Sweet Island Melodies Of The Music That Is Her Namesake.
CALYPSO Developed In The Early-To-Mid 19th Century On The Islands Of Trinidad & Tobago.
Originally Sung In French, Or The Patois, Creole, CALYPSO Was A Political Music: Allowing The Islanders To Challenge The Corrupt Doings Of The Unelected Governor & Legislative Council.
When It Migrated To The English Language, It Began To Catch More Heat From The Government, But Survives To This Day As A Potent Protest Music.
It's Not ALL Politics, However. Like Its Distant Descendant Hip-Hop, CALYPSO Is Also A PARTY Music! Different CALYPSO Crews Record "Dis Tracks" About Other Bands; Boast About Their Musical, & General Superiority; Spread Gossip & Local News, & Stick It To The Man!
The Tracks Today Are "Me One Alone," By LORD INVADER & HIS CALYPSO RHYTHM BOYS, And "Calypso War," By THE MIGHTY TERROR & HIS CALYPSONIANS.
Calypso Is An Amazing Genre, And There Are Wonderful Anthologies Available On PHYSICAL MEDIA.
I Would Highly Recommend Going Out And Purchasing A Few!
These Two Cuts Came From The Three-Disc "Trojan Calypso Box," Which Is As Good Of A Place As Any To Start Your Library!
