Calypso Cavalcade vol. III – Various Artists
Sounds of the Caribbean 1974

Calypso, the infectious rhythms and melodies of the
Caribbean area originated in Trinidad. It is really the
musical expression of the Afro-West-Indian population.
There are various explanations for the origin of the word
calypso, but it’s most likely, that it stems from the African
word ‘Kaiso’, which means ‘bravo’. The lyrics (in dialectic
English) and the melodies are usually made up on the spur
of the moment. The words very often have a double meaning.
The topic is sex, but very often deal with current events of
social and political happenings. The rhythms are enticing
and the songs are therefore popular for dancing.
