Stephen F Keech Soca, short for “soul of Calypso”, emerged in the late 70’s. I bought a bootleg cassette of Soca music in St Lucia in 1983. Here on Bandcamp now is one of my favourites from that Cassette, and I am very happy to pay for the legit download. The storytelling and social commentary of Calypso is pure music joy. If you are old enough to remember the Michael Fagan break-in to Buckingham Palace back in 1982, then enjoy my favourite picked track from The Mighty Sparrow. Favorite track: Phillip My Dear.

The Mighty Sparrow Trinidad and Tobago

Often categorized as "World Music," for Sparrow the classification "World" is simply too small. We're working with Slinger Francisco (Sparrow) to preserve his recorded legacy. All releases digitally restored from best available sources. ... more
