Clash of the Steelbands
The “Lord Blakie” Remembered
The Calypso and its derivatives remain that intrinsic, artistic thread that weaves the creative cloth of history, documenting and storytelling through live performances for the masses. The late Lord Blakie was one of the true great masters of this craft. Blessed with an abundance of wit, intelligence, humor, memory and knowledge of subject matter - Lord Blakie was giant among his peers and a significant icon in the steelpan music moment.
