Vintage kaiso by calypso legend the Honorable Raymond Quevedo, aka Attila the Hun, who was also the first calypsonian to hold elected office, since he was elected to the Trinidad Legislative Council in 1950.
He, together with Roaring Lion were responsible for first bringing the sound of calypso to the United States in 1934.
Definitely an important and highly respected cultural icon of Trinidad and Tobago.
