Simply Calypso (4CD / Download)

Cat. No.: SIMPLYCD123
Barcode: 698458292322
Playing Time: Over 4 Hours

Join the carnival and let the infectious sound of Trinidad and Tobago infuse you with Caribbean spirit. Joyous, energetic, political, full of social purpose and often profoundly daft, this selection of calypso from the 40s 50s and 60s tells witty tales of stolen nighties, zombies, West Indies test match victories over England, clever monkeys and delivering cod fish to Hitler. It also provides examples of calypso’s conquering of the worldwide mainstream when artists like Harry Belafonte made it his signature sound, and The Banana Boat Song became history’s most recognisable calypso. 

Bask in the sunlight of calypso’s finest moments.
