 | | This anthology documents the amalgam of sounds and styles that converged in the 1930s and '40s to form the foundation of calypso music. |
 | | These included Afro-Latin rhythms, light jazz and dance band arrangements, colorful lyrics, admonitions, narratives and cautionary stories performed by vibrant, frequently humorous vocalists such as The Tiger, The Growler, Lord Invader, Atilla The Hun, The Lion, and others. |
 | | These 25 songs are well mastered and detail an evolving style that ultimately became among the most dominant in the Caribbean. |
