About This Book

'Tassa, Chutney and Soca' examines the contribution of The Indo Trinidadian community to the Calypso artform, traditionally a stronghold of Afro Trinidad and Afro Caribbean singers and writers.

It is through the Calypso that ideas are brought to life, hostilities are nurtured, love is professed. energies are released and battle lines contemplated. The book gives an in-depth analysis of the role played by the Indo Trinidadian in shaping Calypso thought, lore, word, form, and melody over the past 70 years.
