	Caribbean Music: Calypso and Found Percussion
		Calypso is a style of music that developed in the West Indies, the islands of the Caribbean.
		There is a short, introductory history of Calypso music, a song to learn (or you may prefer to choose a different calypso-style song), percussion rhythms to learn, a "found percussion" activity, and a creative writing activity.
		You may want to have calypso music to play in the background as they are working on their instruments.

	Calypsonian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Calypsonian is a musician, usually from Trinidad, who has studied calypso and memorised its traditional tunes and stanzas.
		A traditional calypso form, War, would close calypso shows with the calypsonians taking turns to improvise verses lauding themselves and disparaging the others.
		The above traits distinguish a calypsonian from a calypso singer, such as Harry Belafonte, who interprets calypsoes but does not compose them.

	Jouvay.com: Calypso Rose Interview
		Calypso Rose, the perfect sobriquet for this Tobagonian woman born McArtha Linda Sandy-Lewis in 1940.
		Calypso Rose, the legend, the first woman to win a road march in Trinidad and Tobago (1977 with Tempo) and the first person to win both the road and calypso titles simultaneously in Trinidad, has written over 800 songs to date and shows no signs of stopping what she has been doing for decades.
		I broke all of the barriers down to bring equality to the field of music with calypso and also steelband.

		Warlord Blakie’s calypso, a marvel of poetic compression and evocative detail that won Road March honours in 1954, records one of the last serious clashes — between Despers and the San Juan All Stars.
		Of course, calypso has changed immensely in the 50 years since Sparrow sang Jean and Dinah, but — thanks partly to him — there will always be a place in Trinidad for a brilliant writer and performer who understands the responsibilities of the calypsonian as the voice of the people.
		Kitchie’s calypso career began around 1944, when, as Aldwyn Roberts, he left his hometown Arima; according to scholar Gordon Rohlehr, he had served as chantwell for a sheriff band and won the title of Arima’s calypso king.

	[No title]
		Since durations of duos-and-trios, cues of divisi, solos and choice of whether or not to play 'clock events' are all in the hands of the musicians, there are inevitable struggles; we only begin to touch on the possibilities.
		During rehearsals there's a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that this could be a lot more fun to play than to listen to; plus incomprehension at some of the claims John makes for his piece in his notes to us on improvisation.
		By the end, when we all tiring, I felt that there was a tendency to respond to cues by making a noise, any noise, just to fulfil our obligations to the score on a minimal level, to bring it to a close.

		Rising from the ashes of creativity, drive, experience, success and resistance, Skitzo Calypso continues to evolve as the mid-Atlantic independent rock n’ roll band that refuses to give up or compromise its vision, for the sake of quick album sales, instant success, popularity or social acceptance.
		In the commercially-sustained candy-coated rock n’ roll landscape of the 21st Century, dominated by college pop/rock and cookie-cutter Picassos, it is important for talented musicians to take the risk and stand up for a higher standard of artistry, in an effort to quash the bumble-gum music plaguing the pop airwaves [over the past decade].
		Despite their unique approach and exclusive sound, Skitzo Calypso has been received and accepted genre-wide, which is a true representation and victory of their intention.

	Bob Brozman Tips for Guitarists: Down the Road: Music, Melody, Chords, and Lyrics
		A traditional calypso, "Down the Road" was first recorded by the legendary Calypso singer Growling Tiger.
		Though the recordings of this music from the 1920s to the 1950s usually featured performances by bands of musicians, I was so attracted to the music that I was determined to work out the whole band sound on solo guitar.
		Calypso contributed to my development of a vocabulary of percussive sounds, contrasting timbres, and general groove ability.

		The Buskers, and bassist Doc Taylor, are folk musicians whose repertoire ranges from Irish sea chanties of the early 1800’s to calypso and satirical folk tunes from the 1950’s and 60’s.
		Their music is drawn from that of such renowned groups as The Limeliters, The Kingston Trio, The Clancy Brothers, and the Chad Mitchell Trio, among others – always with their own stamp born of many years of musicianship by each of the band’s members who have been The Buskers since 1987.
		Kirkmount is made up of a trio of brothers: Alex, Samuel, and Simeon Bigney who play the same style of wild and melancholy Celtic music their grandfathers once played in the now-forgotten village of Kirkmount in the hills of Nova Scotia.

		But hidden here and there in the Caribbean are little pockets of the old calypso tradition, somewhat static, but still vibrant.
		The best of the lot is Cahuita Calypso: with a banjo and rhythm box courting the call and response of the vocals, they offer the most African-rooted sound.
		The BIG problem is that I personaly met and know these men when i lived in Cahuita, Costa Rica, and found out that a visitor recorded them without telling them he was going to produce a Cd to sell.

		Listening to music while personal for each is only about trying to "...keep on the cutting edge?" (whether ironic statement or not)for those who care more about what their friends think of their music and are not secure enough in their own taste.
		Ask any upcoming group or seasoned musician which well-known clubs they've played at, and chances are that Maxwell's is on the list.
		According to Abramson, he was a big fan of music as a kid and became somewhat obsessed with it, although he never figured it would be a career path for himself.

		This album is a real delight, and though better calypso recordings undoubtedly exist, this record has to stand near the top of the list of best albums by Hollywood stars not otherwise known as vocalists.
		While vacationing in the Bahamas recently, my hotel's Muzak track played a Calypso song which was obviously entitled "From a Logical Point of View." Something immediately clicked, and the song was unquestionably a version of the early 60's U.S. hit "If You Wanna Be Happy" by one Jimmy Soul.
