About This Book
"Calypso, a traditional form of music in the Caribbean, began in Trinidad and Tobago as a subtle protest against British rule. The product of the cross-fertilization of African and European rhythms, melodies and song styles, the calypso (along with Jamaican reggae) defines the music of the region. Louis Regis examines the evolution of the political calypso from 1962 to 1987, the period of Trinidad/Tobago's independence from Britain, and presents the text of lyrics from this popular folk-urban musical form."--Jacket.
