Invitée dans l'édition digitale du joli Radio Meuh Circus Festival de 2021, voici un de vinyles principalement diggés par dela l'océan atlantique en Guyane, en Guadeloupe et à Trinidad, lucky girl i am!!  
On y trouve du  gwo-ka de Guadeloupe, du compas d'Haiti, du Kaseko du Surinam, du zouk, des sons de Guyane, de Trinidad, de La Dominique et même une sortie toute barrée jusque La Reunion (où j'espère aller digger en vrai!)
Désolée niveau technique, la qualité du son, l'équalization etc mais c'est des vieux vinyls et ils ont la magie :) 
J'ouvre avec une de mes chansons préférés de l'univers et au delà: 
Boi dé roz d'Eric Cosaque sorti en 83 en Guadeloupe <3

WITH ALL MY LOVE I hope you will enjoy the ride !

Here's a short mix of some favorite Old Calypso tunes made between 1956 & 1960, recorded from original vinyls of my collection (Sorry, some are in pity condition!!) 
Most of them are minor style calypso and come from Trinidad & Tobago the native land of Calypso (except for 'Love Alone' that come from Nassau, many were performed & recorded in Nex-York)
Calypso is about commitments, since the very beginning in the 20s to fight slavery it has always remain a voice to express political & social issues but also simple day life stories and with a hot comical lyrical tradition ! 
Many influences here, and huge roots for further musical styles & tendencies to come thanx to this heritage (Soca, reggae, ska, but also hip hop or dancehall to me by the lyricist tradition, the rhythm ....)
I prepare this lil' selection in honor of the great Calypso Queen : Calypso Rose, for our next party coming in Geneva at Les Creatives Festival Nov. the 11th 2016. 
All selected with Love, Passion & smiles, I hope you'll enjoy it :)
Please Keep peace around !
