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

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

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

04 – Duke – The dentist

When listening to ‘Chutney’, one first thinks, is this Bollywood ?
You don’t expect this music to come from the Island of Trinidad.
His forefathers brought it with them some 135 years ago. Sundar
Popo is credited as the father of chutney music. India’s famous
Anup Jalota and his group made this record with him. We had
one album on which Sundar Popo also performed.
Listen and enjoy these hot and spicy chutneys ..Als je naar ‘chutney’ luistert denk je eerst, is dit Bollywood ?
Het laatste wat je verwacht is dat deze muziek van het eiland
Trinidad komt. Zijn voorvaderen brachten de muziek al 135 jaar
eerder mee. Sundar Popo wordt beschouwd als de vader van
de chutney. India’s Anup Jalota maakte deze plaat net hem.
We hadden al een ander chutney album waarop hij ook
te horen was. Luister zelf ..Indian Cultural Pageant of Trinidad and Tobago 1980

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

Maybe you have the same experience as I did several times. You are
on a record fair or market and stumble upon an album you’ve been
looking for for quite some time. Quickly you check the quality of the
record and if it’s okay and you like the price, you buy it and go home
a happy man. A little later when you play it you think, hey, this not
the elpee it’s supposed to be. You had not checked the label and just
assumed it would be the right one. Sometimes it really sucks because
the music sucks and sometimes you get more or less lucky like I did
this time. The record inside appeared to be another rare and very
nice one. It is a shame you don’t have the albums right sleeve but
the music is the most important of course. I plucked the sleeve
from Discogs this time. Hope you like it too. Have fun listening ..Misschien heb je dit ook wel eens meegemaakt, ik al meerdere keren.
Je bent op een platen beurs of markt en loopt tegen een elpee aan die
je al langere tijd zocht. Snel check je de kwaliteit van het vinyl en als de
prijs je ook bevalt koop je de plaat en gaat als een blij man huiswaarts.
Even later als je het album draait merk je het pas. Verdorie, dit is niet
de juiste schijf die erin zit. Soms baal je d’r van omdat ie gewoon slecht
is en soms heb je mazzel zo als ik dit keer. De plaat die je aantreft is ook
zeldzaam en hartstikke leuk. Het is natuurlijk jammer dat je de goede
hoes er niet bij hebt maar de muziek is vanzelfsprekend het belangrijkst.
Ik heb de hoes in dit geval bij Discogs weggeplukt, hopelijk vind jij hem
net zo leuk als ik. Luister met plezier ..tracks ;
