Calypsos from Jamaica – Various Artists
Sounds of the Caribbean 1971?

This album with Jamaican Calypsos, also called ‘mento’,
came to me in a wrong sleeve. I went online and found
the correct sleeve at Discogs. It was a little puzzle to find
the names of the artists but that also fell in place a little
later. What do we have ? 12 songs of which you may
know a couple from Trinidad calypso’s, but this time
done by Jamaican artists. Listen & enjoy ..

Deze plaat, waarop Jamaicaanse calypso, ofwel ‘mento’,
kwam ooit in de verkeerde hoes bij mij terecht. Online
vond ik de juiste omslag bij Discogs. Het was nog even
puzzelen naar de namen van de vertolkers, maar ook dat
kwam uiteindelijk goed. Wat hebben we? 12 nummers
waarvan je er enkele zult kennen uit Trinidad, maar nu
uitgevooerd door Jamaicanan. Luister en huiver ..
