		Though the ballad is a FORM still much written, the so-called "popular ballad" in most literatures belongs to the early periods before written literature was highly developed.
		The greatest impetus to the study of ballad literature was given by the publication in 1765 of Bishop Percy's Reliques of Ancient English Poetry.
		Strictly speaking, however, these are not ballads in the traditional sense, and that form probably belongs to a period in the history of Western civilization which is past.

		Calypso is one of the many musical forms that resulted from the collision of African and European cultures in the New World.
		Calypso grew out of the songs that were sung during carnival.
		By the turn of the century, the original French Creole patois was giving way to English as the language of calypso and the songs were more often in eight line verses rather than the more rudimentary four lines of the so-called road marches.

	What is Calypso? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Calypso is any song that after 1898 was sung at carnival time in Trinidad - either in the street by revellers or in staged performances by singers.
		Ballad calypso tells a story, and lavway was the leggo music, or street song for people who wanted to ‘let go’.
		Indoor calypsos place emphasis on lyrics over melody, and are telling a story; Standard English is the mark of the day and the use of hyperbole and critical commentary is the norm.

	THE CALYPSO CRAZE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Calypso, a gentle Caribbean-based folk style, enjoyed a brief vogue in the United States which far outweighed its ultimate impact on the overall development of popular music.
		This reaction was spear- headed by both the major American record companies and the nation's intelligentsia, who found the crude beat and raw sexuality exuded by Presley and his legion of imitators to be morally as well as aesthetically offensive.
		Calypso, a marginal branch of third world music at the time, was in essence seized upon by these forces as an anecdote to the obnoxious teen music that threatened to overwhelm the established cultural--and economic--order of things.

		The middle class appropriation of carnival and calypso for Trinidad's nascent national literature in the 1920s and 1930s might be seen as an early stage in the making carnival middle class and national rather than an oppositional working class festival as it was in the late 19th century.

	The Golden Age of Calypso
		The lyrical content of calypso has always caused problems but in the 1930s it is difficult to find any calypso which is as suggestive as the blues recordings of the period, although this might reflect the tighter control of the Colonial authorities.
		One of the key characteristics of calypsos is that their range of subject matter is far wider than a comparable music form, such as the blues.
		However, it is their lyrical fluency and cleverness which characterise the calypso often giving them such a heavy sense of irony and parody that the singer could almost be saying the opposite.

		Calypso was originally sung in French, but the first recorded calypso song, Julian Whiterose's Iron Duke in the Land (1914), was already in English.
		But it was in the 1950s that calypso became a "craze" in the USA, thanks mainly to Harry Belafonte's Calypso (1956), one of the first albums to sell over one million copies, that contained Banana Boat Song (1956).
		Calypso itself was torn between the revolutionary pressure coming from David Rudder, whose The Hammer (1986) was influenced by pop and soul, and the conservative attitude of Leroy "Black Stalin" Calliste, whose Caribbean Man (1979) harked back to the classics.

		Saturday night, Vega filled an exceptional show at the University of Hartford's Lincoln Theater with her literate appeals, charming a too-small Labor Day weekend audience with a heady mix of evocative, expertly performed material.
		The atmospheric depth her fine three-piece band added to the show was front and center in the ballad “Calypso,” audible in the fluid bass line of Mike Visceglia and the spare electric plucking of guitarist Billy Masters.
		Each band members had immense latitude to add individual flair to the material, up to and including Viceglia’s bleating on a trumpet while wearing a feathered mask that turned “Solitaire” into a bit of a goof and broke up Vega more than once mid-song.
