So RUBADIRI VICTOR feels that he could just CALL UP NICKI MINAJ and CARDI B and tell them that TRINIDAD is promoting a VIRTUAL CARNIVAL -- SIGN HERE and WE HAVE A DEAL ...

THAT IS IGNORANCE contained within A SMALL ISLAND.

LORD HAVE MERCY!!!

TRINIDAD IS REAL MAMAGUY, OUI!!

That is like me calling up TOM BRADY and telling him that I want to sign him to a contract to PLAY AMERICAN FOOTBALL in TRINIDAD!!!

REAL IGNORANCE!!

The CALYPSO VERSION of PAN BY STORM sure is a SWEET MELODY -- it would be nice to hear a STEELBAND PLAY IT RIGHT ... George Victory who composed the song should have DONE THE VOCALS too!!!

I can actually hear THIS SONG (in my head) being played by A GOOD STEELBAND ...

ODW: You have to be a CALYPSO LOVER to fully appreciate THIS SCENE in MOKO JUMBIE -- given that background, this is one of the BEST MOVIE SCENES I have ever seen (Hollywood, Turkey, Europe, Wherever)

I went all over THE INTERNET looking for ONE DECENT PAN VERSION of "RAINORAMA" and could not find ONE to suit my standard -- that is a shame ...

So I had to settle for THIS VERSION!!! She tries hard but she does not have the DEPTH OF TONE and sense of MOCKERY to DELIVER THE LYRICS -- but I have to give her CREDIT for GOOD DICTION!!!

I like CALYPSOS that begin IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ACTION ... save all the long SETUPS because that turn into the PAYOFF LINE and dumps into THE CHORUS comes so quickly -- there is NO TIME TO WASTE ...

Here are THREE CALYPSOS that begin right in THE MIDDLE OF THE ACTION ...

After WHEN STEEL TALKS put up the "AFRICAN ROOTS OF TANGO" documentary it really sent me SEARCHING ... so maybe CALYPSO CAME FROM COSTA RICA?

THAT DOCUMENTARY was really educational beyond THE TANGO TING -- LONG STORY!!! I have been searching and searching since then.

EVERYBODY should see that DOCUMENTARY ... it shook me in the same way that reading "THE LOSS OF EL DORADO" did decades ago
