Calypso

Calypso is a style of music that originated in the Caribbean, particularly Trinidad and Tobago, in the early 20th century. It is characterized by its rhythmic and lively sound, often accompanied by humorous lyrics that comment on social and political issues. The music typically features steelpan, brass instruments, and a call-and-response singing style. Notable calypso artists include the Mighty Sparrow, Lord Kitchener, and Harry Belafonte. more »
