  12. "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

  14. KEITH STEWART
    Take Me Back To Jamaica
    Year Unknown Jamaica pressing

    A 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.

  15. @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) arhoolierecords.bandcamp.com/a

  16. 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.

  17. If you like calypso, this fantastic Bear Family box set is on sale right now. It's a great comp, mixed between cheese and choice tidbits.

  23. ApoCalypso saison

    This saison is brewed with Pilsner malt and Kernza perennial grain, fermented with my Palatki wild yeast culture and then dry hopped with Calypso. Mildly tart and ridiculously fruity with a little underlying funk. I'm really happy with how this beer turned out.

  29. "Matilda" (sometimes spelled Mathilda) is a #calypso song. Some songwriting credits are given as Harry Thomas (rumoured to be a pseudonym combining #HarryBelafonte and his guitarist, #MillardThomas, but #ASCAP simply lists Harry Thomas alias Harry Belafonte, the writer of "Hold 'Em Joe"); some credits are given as #NormanSpan.

  30. Usually around the end of the year I suddenly decide I need more vinyl in my small-but-growing collection. Most of the time I choose video game soundtracks because of course I do, but this year I did something different.

  36. Vê se te manca, solta de banda
    Não faz sentido namorar você
    Sujeito esperto, vai pro inferno
    Vai azarar outra por lá
    Não vem me paquerar, não vem me engabelar
    Você não tem guariba, sou do signo de libra
    Escorpião chega pra lá 💋
