Calypso singer Sir Lancelot , role model of Harry Belafonte, wrote the reggae/ ska classic Shame and Scandal in the Family for Jacques Tourneur's horror b-movie I Walked with a Zombie in 1943 – see here . Later the song was covered by Lance Percival, Peter Tosh , Kingston Trio, Trini Lopez , The Stylistics, The Blues Busters, or British ska popsters Madness, among others. Sacha Distel and Les Surfs recorded French lingo adaptations, as well as Les Gammas whose 1965 version sounds like a tourist warning not to mess around with firewater in the Carribean, including [...]
Anthony Joseph is now one of our 'resident DJs' with this third mix, the second part of his The Rubber Orchestras Paris DJs Mix: From the Plantation to the Revolution and also the third volume of our World People series. We had the chance to meet him last week in Paris, and even if we knew it while listening to his albums and mixes, we can assure you the man has got the vibe! We've put up a few photos from this day up, check them here . And it's still time to rush into a record store [...]
Among the 62 albums I acquired in 2011 , many were old albums I'm only now catching up on. Some stuck with me better than others. Here are my (unranked) favorite new-to-me albums of the year. Harmonia: Musik von Harmonia and Cluster: Zuckerzeit 2011 was kind of a Clustery year for me. I acquired Zuckerzeit as well as an earlier Kluster album (terrible), two solo albums from Hans Joachim Roedelius (both not bad), and Harmonia's debut (Harmonia is Cluster + Neu's Michael Rother). Of them all, Musik von [...]
Mighty Sparrow - Calypso as Mother music (by IsDePanInMe ) Clip from Calypso King of the World documentary. Sparrow comments on his early years in NewYork, Harry Belafonte and Reggae music.
Both of today's songs are from The Rough Guide to Calypso Gold. When it gets colder, I figure calypso will whisk us off to the islands and to cabanas and drinks with small umbrellas.

by Earl-Wilkerson I've knocked together another tape for you. This one is called Calypso and is basically a load of songs that have steel drums in them.
OK, time for something old and eerie: "Voodoo." It's a song from one of Soundway Records ' latest 103 records. The release is an EP of four instrumental tracks from Cyril Diaz & His Orchestra, which were put out in the 1950s. These tracks all have fantastic backing beats and tons of energy. They really make me wanna move; however, there's something smokey and mysterious about them, too. Something that's somewhat dark and difficult to explain.
Earlier this year I travelled to Guatemala, this is the music I listened to. It's all from South and Central America (or influenced by). This'll be the first in a series of Mixcloud mixes of my current listening, for better or worse... Guatemalan Road Trip by Half Machine on Mixcloud
If you're a fan of calypso music , then it's likely that you're already familiar with the name Calypso Rose . Born McArtha Lewis on the island of Tobago in 1940, she's undoubtedly the best-known female singer and performer that the genre has ever produced. If you've not had the pleasure of hearing her music, now would be a great time to start! ... Read Full Post
The Pre-Season Optimist Mix by Bill Brewster Tags: African Funk Disco Calypso Soul I did this mix for the guys over at C-Store in Sweden in July. Thought I'd stick it up here. deepgoa.blogspot.com [...]
Our latest contributor, Warsaw-born Venice Calypso , brings a new brand of UK Funky and Future Garage to the table. If there was ever such a thing as dark Tropical music then this mixtape encapsulates it; upbeat House and Funky is set against Deep House and rumbling Techno for a hazy, bass driven sonic assault. His appearance on the first volume of Senseless Records' Synesthesia 123 series earmarked 'Drifitng' as a future classic, with extensive coverage and support from the likes of XLR8R and various other tastemakers. With remixes for Visionist and BD1982 on the way, Sebastian [...]
Our friends over at Cocobass released this new LOL Boys EP on monday and it's already blowing up everywhere on the interwebs. While Cocobass is home to some of the most influential producers from Latin America, this might be their biggest release yet. LA based Jerome Potter and Montreal based Markus Garcia are the duo behind LOL Boys which in my opinion have been producing straight up fiyahs since I first heard of them a while back. Bubbles EP features some next level calypso, dutch house, bubblin' and even a little moombahton blending which clearly [...]
brand new track "Calypso" from Blackbird Blackbird . Give it a listen below. Enjoy Calypso by BLACKBIRD BLACKBIRD Download Remember to Like and Follow LYFSTYL on:
A new tune from Blackbird BlackBird dropped on Wednesday and it's an entirely darker affair compared with what we're used to. The synths are deeply layered, with the track containing a more cacophonous sound, thanks to some intricately put together vocal samples that punctuate and highlight the vast open spaces. For now, Blackbird Blackbird are on one hell of a roll. Calypso by Blackbird Blackbird
