Calypso Showcase Roaring Lion 121091

Alvin Daniell does a live interview with Roaring Lion on television in December 1991.

This is the most colourful and informative interview I have ever seen. I use to see this great man all the time walking down the streets of Mt Lambert around 1962 . I was a kid and he had about 4 kids and a white woman with him. I don't remember who Identified him to me maybe it was my father Later I learned he had returned to Trinidad with his German wife and children. He and his children would always look at me as I walked by, and I did the same from the opposite side of the quiet street.

If Adam named all the animals, what language did Adam spoke. Because according to the language are the names of the animals.

Can you explain the difference between calypso and mento, I’ve always wondered this

[@tomgrice7587]

Hi, would you know what the tile is of the song at 53:30? Thanks :)

[@alvindaniell9865]

The name of the song is “Ha’penny Rice”. It stands for "Half Penny Rice”. In that time when Trinidad & Tobago was under British rule our currency was also British The smallest coin was half of one cent which we called a halfpenny or Farthing and you could actually buy something with it in those days
