Legends Of Calypso
A collection of 25 witty and humorous Calypso songs - historical recordings and greatest hits by some of the greatest Calypso stars of the 1940s and 1950s.
The 25 songs cover an extremely broad range of styles from classic testifying to folk styles to crooned ballads. Probably one of the most (in)famous double-entendre calypso songs The Big Bamboo is included here given wittily brilliant treatment by its composer Mighty Panther who contributes several other pithy pieces to the collection. Calypso Eddie gives an extroverted version of the staple Matilda, Calypso Mama warns the men Don't Touch Me Tomato while balladeer Andre Toussaint croons Yellow Bird over a Cuban beat.
