Calypso legend 10 Nov 2006
By The Djeli - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Excellent compilation of West Indian legend, Mighty Sparrow, whose politically minded lyrics predated Bob Marley or Peter Tosh. Mighty Sparrow rose in Trinidad and was one of the pioneering artists to bring Calypso outside of the Caribbean. Calypso, a form of music enslaved Africans in the West Indies used to communicate political information that European enslavers would not recognize because they were in the form of song. Think of it as vocal capoiera! Reggae, which is also great, is a much later genre that has its roots in calypso.
