i am a calypso fan from Wales and visited Trini twice...the locals were so amazed and proud that i had traveled so far to pay homage to their culture and i received only a good reception where ever i went,including jouvert morning fete in st.james.

The Mighty Sparrow is my favorite!💖

[@olujimisgn6]

I'm from Nigeria, right now in Bonny Island. I'm a very very good fan of Mighty Sparrow, I love all his calyso musics and his gospelypso. Grand master Lord Kitchener and Lord Blakie are also my favourites. For sure this guys are the king of calypso and they will live forever because you can"t get anybody close to comparing to them. My greatsest wish is to meet them all in person some day. Long life you all.

Swallow does look like Billy Ocean, like he should be singing 'Caribbean Queen!'! That's a compliment. Billy is a good-looking man for an older dude!

[@Gracele100]

im proud to know that i was in that audience

[@AdvocateSpirit]

A once in a lifetime experience. I wasn't born yet 😢. Who was your favourite of the night?

[@neryborrayes2041]

Larga Vida Para el Caribe Y Las Antillas! awesome culture!

[@SonnySambucharan11june]

The performance on this Video way back in 1985 was the influences for tourism and a safe friendly Trinidad & Tobago for the world to see. That,s the T&T I left behind in 1970 and did not ever returned. Regretful I may be, Has T&T retain its friendly and socially integrated cultural atmosphere now, in comparison to way back then? I wondered! I am absorbed into listening to the songs, seeing the audience and the location and feeling the rhythm of T&T. This is a great audio visual visit.

[@lephanesaintfort7420]

Professional calypso singers are here tonight.

[@marilynjeminez1457]

[@EliteBigEye]

i am so impressed with superblue and swallow and shadow - awesome

[@da1kid101]

Todays artists can learn a lot from these guys....the guys performed not just talk. Another thing i wondered is why wasn't Calypso Rose add to the line up she is right up there with these greats.

[@lephanesaintfort7420]

This is the the Caribbean soul, viva Calypso music and all the artists.

Trinidad the Carrigan Godfather is a lesson for all of us who didn't know

[@giannidischia2063]

La musica calypso (calipso in italiano) è un genere musicale che appartiene alla cultura afroamericana delle isole dei Caraibi. Questo genere nasce a Trinidad agli inizi del '900. Si ritiene che le sue origini vadano ricercate nei metodi di comunicazione usati tra gli schiavi nelle piantagioni. Successivamente all'importazione, da parte dei francesi, del Carnevale nell'isola, il Calypso venne utilizzato come elemento folcloristico e così aumentò la sua popolarità, che esplose dopo l'abolizione della schiavitù nel 1834. La musica Calypso fu spesso censurata, soprattutto dai Britannici, a causa del suo contenuto politico e di forte protesta, spesso scomodo alle autorità: i "Calypsos" infatti denunciavano spesso le tragiche condizioni in cui lavoravano o vivevano e i politici corrotti. Ma la censura non li fermò e, anzi, aumentò il loro desiderio di ribellione. Il Calypso esplose come genere nel 1956 quando Harry Belafonte, soprannominato appunto "Re del Calypso", utilizzando una variante più attenuata, e quindi più commercializzabile del genere, pubblicò nel suo disco Calypso una riedizione di Banana Boat Song, una canzone tradizionale giamaicana, che ebbe subito molto successo.

yeah what's up ?

[@sensaydom]

Of course we purchased the original music from the artistes and have the right to sell the music once they are paid, Have you visited our stores in Queens and Bronx, NY?. We were once Spice Island Records and now we are Sensay Music.

[@ryswickbeach2502]

I was present, and sat immediately behind the judges. Watch me walking to the dressing room after Duke left the stage. Good show, but the PA system was crap. Calypsoians were straining their voice to reach those in the stands.

[@boygrant1]

oh gorm please post the volume two ah just bounce up on this oh gawd kaiso
