Did our weekly grocery shop today. Flattened by the rain storm and sat around after putting everything away, listening to a bit of Mighty Sparrow, esp. Capitalism Gone Mad. Same as it ever was:
"So many bills to pay
There is no conceivable way
To save for a rainy day
In this country
Avariciousness to be precise
Is why every damn thing so overpriced" -

"L'Île de Calypso", réalisé par Méliès en 1905, est la première adaptation connue d'un épisode de "l'Odyssée". Ce film muet long de 4 minutes fusionne l'escale d'Ulysse chez Calypso et son aventure avec le Cyclope. Passé dans le domaine public, il est librement visionnable, par exemple sur Wikimedia Commons.

No estoy segura si esto califica como música de hechizos, pero es de hierbas medicinales (mágicas) que curan todos los males #MusiQuinta #musica #music #calypso

It's clear. Did I know that rum was a naturally clear liquor? If I did, I didn't remember.

The aroma is... I'm not used to rum in general, so I don't know if butter rum is its own thing or not

"Calypso" is a song written by #JohnDenver in 1975 as a tribute to #JacquesYvesCousteau and his research ship, the #Calypso. It was featured on Denver's 1975 album #Windsong. Released as the #Bside of "#ImSorry", "Calypso" received substantial airplay, enabling it to chart on the #Billboard Hot 100. After "I'm Sorry" fell out of the #1 position, "Calypso" began receiving more airplay than "I'm Sorry," thus causing Billboard to list "Calypso" as the #newAside.

"Founded by Trinidadian-Canadian Drew Gonsalves, Kobo Town is named after the historic neighborhood in Port-of-Spain where calypso was born. Kobo Town takes the intricate wordplay of Caribbean music and runs it through a 21st Century filter. In the world of Kobo Town calypso, roots reggae, and acoustic instrumentation meet innovative production techniques, social commentary and indie rock attitude." #Canada #Trinidad #Calypso #BandcampFriday

KEITH STEWART
Take Me Back To Jamaica
Year Unknown Jamaica pressingA moody and thoroughly enjoyable #Calypso / #reggae album for the early morning hours.
I’ve posted a few Keith Stewart albums in the past (Yellow Bird, Keith Here And There), as I’m a big fan of his.
Before this week, THIS one was the only one of his albums I didn’t have, so I was happy to finally get it!According to the Discogs entry for this, its year of release is unknown (along with the previous My Own Jamaica and Yellow Bird), but it’s listed as his final album.
Before his solo career, Stewart made his name as one half of the duo Keith and Enid, with Enid Cumberland.
THEIR one and only album from 1962, Keith And Enid Sing, is one I’ve been after for a very long time and an album I’ve never actually seen before.
Until I find one, I’ll just keep on enjoying Stewart’s excellent solo records.

@gastonrampersad Yeah, I was happy to see that!
If you look up Sparrow, unfortuntely the top hit is what I suspect is a bootlegger. But the one I linked to is an authorized account and there are loads of albums there.
Also these classics: (authorized) https://arhoolierecords.bandcamp.com/album/calypsos-from-trinidad-politics-intrigue-violence-in-the-1930s
(probably not authorized) https://mississippirecords.bandcamp.com/album/seven-skeletons-found-in-the-yard-trinidad-calypsos-1928-1947

Mighty Sparrow earworm today.
Oddly enough, I first learned this song from Robert Mitchum's album of calypso covers that was reissued on Caroline records.
While I enjoy the cheese of it (and I like Belafonte's covers as well), it pays to seek out the original calypsonians.
The Mighty Sparrow has a lot of albums on Bandcamp.
