Clash, Steelband, Blakie, Lord

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....

This performance is from a video called "Raw Kaiso Live at Mas Camp Pub". It features Blakie, Black Prince and Zandolie, and is a real classic.

I wonder if there is a DVD out there somewhere? I haven't been able to find it.

If you know how I can get a copy please let me know.

I'd love to own a copy.

Interestingly Brenda, back in the day when The Mighty Sparrow was in his "Badjohn" phase singing songs like "Gunslingers" and "Royal Jail", many people felt that Sparrow was a fake "badjohn", and Blakie was the real thing!
