Bongo Man by the Mighty Wrangler was a big calypso hit in the early nineteen sixties.This tune clearly demonstrates the African Bongo/Shango roots of the Trinidadian rhythms of the stick fight, the calypso and the pan.An authentic, enjoyable roots based calypso with some serious bongo drumming!From the 1962 Cook compilation album "Hellish Calypso"

     I REMEMBER THIS SONG FROM MY PRE-TEEN DAYS AND MY MUM, WHO WAS HAITIAN, TRYING WITH MY FATHER, WHO SPOKE FRENCH AND A PATOIS (HE WAS A BONGO PLAYER) TO TRANSLATE THE CREOLE WORDS!
