Kevan Calliste, pan arranger, calypsonian and extempo artist. Calliste is making his senior debut at the Kaiso Showkase tent which opens at Palms Club, San Fernando, on February 1. - Lincoln Holder
KEVAN CALLISTE is preserving and continuing the cultural legacy of the iconic calypsonian Leroy "Black Stalin" Calliste.
While the world knows him as one of TT's great cultural ambassador, to Kevan, the son of Stalin’s daughter Abiola, he is simply granddad.
Since the legendary Stalin suffered a stroke in 2014 he has been off the performing stage.
Young Calliste, however, has been preserving and continuing his granddad’s legacy both in the calypso and extempore arenas.
