How great is it to find a missing album from an artist one
adores. Recently I found this 1966 record with my all time
favorite calypsonian, Lord Kitchener. Personally I think the
late sixties were the times he made his best records before
he went to soca. This one is a sweet contribution to the ones
we already had. If you feel the same way, get it & spread it ..Altijd weer een verdomd goed gevoel als je een plaat vindt
van één van je favoriete artiesten. Lord Kitchener is zonder
twijfel zo’n artiest. Persoonlijk vind ik dat hij in de tweede
helft van de jaren zestig zijn beste werk heeft gemaakt voor-
dat het soca werd. Dit is een welkome toevoeging aan de
albums die we reeds hadden. Als jij dat ook
voelt, get it & spread it ..Discogs

Something different today. Calypso from Venezuela with
Agrupación Convenezuela. Calypso in a more percussive
style, not really comparable with calypso from Trinidad.
Various singers like Kenton, Lulu and Clotilde. Give it
a couple of spins and make up your own mind ..Vandaag vinden we eens iets heel anders. Dit is Calypso

He had his prime time during the late 50’s and early sixties.
After a long hiatus from 1962, in which a few collectors
appeared, he came back in 1974 through this album, Salt ‘n
Pepper. It was the time in which calypso slowly evolved into
soca, I’m glad Lord Melody still brings calypso on this one.
Lord Melody was one of the main calypsonians with Lord
Kitchener and Mighty Sparrow, a true pioneer ..Calypso Through the Looking Glass 1960

Most calypsonians stood on stage motionless when singing.
Not Slinger Francisco, he moved around like James Brown.
When someone said,”why don’t you just sing instead of moving
around like a Sparrow?”, his name was born. After just Sparrow
and Little Sparrow, he took the stage name ‘Mighty Sparrow’.
Slinger made a huge pile of records, this one is from 1967.De meeste calypsonians stonden stil tijdens het zingen, Slinger
Francisco niet. Hij danste in het rond als James Brown. Toen iemand
zei,”waarom zing je niet gewoon in plaats van rond te dwarrelen
als een ‘Sparrow’ (mus)”, was zijn nieuwe artiestennaam een feit.
Na gewoon Sparrow en Little Sparrow werd zijn naam uiteindelijk
‘Mighty Sparrow’. Hij maakte een grote stapel platen,
dit is er een uit 1967 ..Sparrow Come Back 1962

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’,

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.

It is only from 2003, but already out of print as far as I can see.
A collector of 14 wonderful calypso’s by various artists. Saucy
Calypso’s as most calypso’s are quite saucy for that is one of
the characteristics of the genre. It got my attention when
listening to track 14, Lord Canary’s Dr. Beckles Clinic.
Such fun to hear how the crowd goes crazy here ..Hij is slechts uit 2003, maar reeds niet meer te krijgen zover als
ik kan zien. Een verzamelaar met 14 heerlijke calypso’s door diverse
artiesten. Saucy Calypso’s zoals de meeste calypso’s ‘saucy’ zijn, dat
is een algemeen kenmerk van deze muziek uit Trinidad. De cd trok
m’n aandacht toen ik het 14de nummer hoorde, Lord Canary’s
‘Dr. Beckles Clinic’. Zo geestig te horen hoe het
publiek uit de bol gaat ..01 – Sparrow – Sell the pussy
02 – Duke – Mommy come and see
03 – Lord Kitchener – No melda
04 – Duke – The dentist
05 – Lord Kitchener – Handy man

After being in an accident on the VanWick Expressway in
New York in 1970, Lord Nelson had to recover for about
two years. Luckily he picked up his career where he had
left off and came back with this album in 1973. Later
he became a soca star. Personally I like the calypso
a whole lot better. Get it and spread it like always ..Nadat hij betrokken was geweest in een auto ongeluk op
de VanWick Expressway in New York in 1970, had Lord
Nelson zo’n twee jaar nodig om weer de oude te worden.
Gelukkig kon hij daarna de draad van zijn carrière weer
oppakken en kwam hij terug met dit album in 1973.
Later werd hij een soca ster. Zelf heb ik een stuk
meer met calypso, luister en geef door ..Ah, Ha 1977

On Disques Vogue, probably from the sixties, we find this CMDINT 9577.
It is the very last one listed at their Discogs discography without year of
release. Ry-Co comes from Rythmes Congolais and was initiated in 1958.
Based in Martinique from 1966 to about 1971. Their records are kind of
hard to come by. Radio Martiko re-released one of their albums in 2018.Op Disques Vogue , waarschijnlijk uit de 60’s, vinden we CMDINT 9577.
Het is de allerlaatste in het rijtje van Discogs dicografie zonder jaar van
uitgave. Ry-Co komt van Rythmes Congolais en werd opgericht in 1958.
Werkend vanuit Martinique van 1966 tot zo’n beetje 1971. Hun platen
zijn tamelijk moeilijk te vinden en gaan voor flinke prijzen op het web.
