	Lord Invader, MP3 Music Download at eMusic
		Most famous as the composer of "Rum and Coca-Cola," Lord Invader was a popular calypso performer in both his native Trinidad and New York, recording from the late '30s through the early '60s.
		Lord Invader sued for plagiarism, the case eventually getting decided in his favor in 1947, although he didn't receive money from the defendants for seven years.
		As with many other calypso singers of that and other eras, Lord Invader was skilled at devising songs with social and political commentary, as well as singing more conventional lyrics based on romantic situations, or based upon traditional folk songs.

		As Lord Invader puts it in his opening volley: "Calypso singing is such a technical thing/It was not made for one and every to sing/How by the heavens can these songsters win/Except by necromancy and that is a sin."

		Of course, Dave does not actually say that Invader was the composer (although since the release of "Hungry i," many writers have attributed it to him).
		Also, I've found no evidence that Invader's backup musicians were ever called "the Twelve Penetrators." For most of his recordings, the credits read "Lord Invader and his Calypso Orchestra." So what I think we have here is another instance of Dave blending fact and fiction for the sake of an entertaining lead-in.
		Ultimately successful in his lawsuit, although he didn’t see the money for another seven years, Invader returned to Trinidad until 1945, when he went to Britain, in the footsteps of Lord Beginner, Lord Kitchener, and other calypsonians.

		By the 1930s exceptional calypsonians such as Atilla the Hun, Lord Invader and the Roaring Lion were making an indelible impression on the calypso world.
		Lord Kitchener rose to prominence in the 1940s and dominated the calypso scene until the late 1970s.
		This song was among the first of the new type of politically charged calypso which, according to some, when allied with the emergence of the People’s National Movement in 1962, stirred public opinion and led to independence.

		Every year, in Trinidad, they have what is know as a "calypsonian carnival" in which the various native groups down there, vie with one another, uh, musically, in order to find out who's the best extemporaneous composer of them all.
		And in the year 1955, Lord Invader and his Twelve Penetrators took the title with this next song, based on a theme by Goethe involving the dance of the dead.

		Lord Invader (1914-1961) was one of the best known calypsonians of his time.
		Grant's tailor, supportive of the rising local star, gave Grant his moniker by commenting, "I tell you, Rupert, you should call yourself Lord Invader so when you go up to the city you be invadin' the capital." With that, Grant returned to his birthplace and Trinidad's capital, Port-of-Spain, in 1937.

		It appears that Pepsi were perturbed by the free advertising Coke were getting from Invader’s hit, and urged Tin Pan Alley composers to write, and Decca’s Jack Kapp to record, songs boosting their product.
		Some calypsonians seem to feel that verbal dexterity is enough, and give their songs a rather distanced, nuanceless delivery, but that’s never a problem with this artist.
		As well as recording Invader’s thoughts on the passing parade of human folly, Asch seems to have been keen, probably with the encouragement of Alan Lomax, to document the historical and contextual aspects of calypso.

	Susan Lowes - Rum and Coca-Cola: The Arrival of the Americans and the Restructuring of Social Relations in Antigua in ...
		Lord Invader, a Trinidadian, wrote several calypsos about the Americans "invasion" of Trinidad, including "Rum and Coca-Cola," "The Soldiers Came and Broke Up My Life," and "Yankee Dollar." Although there were major differences between Antigua and Trinidad, there were also major similarities between the two situations.
		Palmer (1983) details how their presence "upset the very delicate social and demographic balance" in the island, and reports the vociferous objections from the local men: "debauching" the women, "disrupting" families, creating a crime wave.
		Trinidad being Trinidad, some of the most pointed observations were made in calypsos, including the one by "Lord Invader" that provides the title for this chapter.
