		This is one of the calypsos best known to rhe general public, thank to the versions recorded in the 1950s by Harry Belafonte and Robert Mitchum.
		This calypso, sung for the first time by Lord Kitchener in 1963, is a perfect example of what Trinidadians mean by "double entente":lyrics full of bawdy allusions that require reading between the lines.

		Due to its popularity, the calypso was incorporated into the French Carnival tradition in colonial society and from there the griot or chantuelle, renowned for his quick thinking and lyrical dexterity and vocal talent, evolved into the calypsonian.
		In 1914 the first calypso record was made leading to relative commercial success and investment that would herald the dawn of the calypso tent in the 1920s.

		Calypso Dreams focuses on the true kings and queens of calypso, affording an unprecedented, intimate glimpse of a culture known to be distrustful of the Yankees' motives--and with good reason.
		Unlike the blues, though, calypso is unwaveringly upbeat and humorous in expression, and the charisma of the men and women in the film is intoxicating.

		It has been recorded in eight languages and is still the first Calypso to be sung for two consecutive years at the annual carnival competition in Trinidad and Tobago.

	Album Calypso: Vintage Songs from the Caribbean
		This album of "calypso" from Putumayo was culled in large part from Harold Doane's old ART label.
		Between the influences of African rhythms, Trinidadian calypso proper, and American jazz and blues, the music remains surprisingly true to form, with a carefree feeling that Putumayo was hoping to showcase.
		Some of the legends of calypso are present, with Lord Composer, Mighty Panther, King Sparrow (before his better-known phase as the Mighty Sparrow), and Lord Beginner all providing works.

		The result is an album of neither watered down nor truly authentic calypso.
		His voice sounds something like Bing Crosby crossed with Dean Martin and Merle Haggard, and his insistence of affecting the broken English of many of the real calypso artists -- this is "dis," "the" is often dropped -- may smack some as distasteful.
		One of the most interesting elements is the use of a banjo instead of guitar as a single line instrument for solos, prefiguring the instrument's use in many contemporary bluegrass and avant-jazz outfits.

		The album is interesting in itself for being a late (60s?)recording done in a style that dates from before the brass-band sound of the 30s and 40s.
		Most of the album is sharp-witted and musically solid, with some real gems like "Train Blow"-- Sung with Lady Iere-- "Money is King" (found in his earlier recordings, but never sung so well), and "War" with Indian Prince and Lord Iere (which also shows up on the Lomax collection's Trinidad album).

		Harry Belafonte sings calypso, a cross section of songs based on the traditional melodies of the English-speaking islands of the Caribbean.
		It led him back to a variety of experiences and jobs in New York City; and it is a tribute to his sense of integrity that he won the fight to keep his road from stopping at Tin Pan Alley.
