  • Description

    The anthology of the best Calypso from Trinidad from rare early recordings up to the zenith of the 1950s calypso craze.

    From the 1920s legendary string orchestras through the forties with the emergence of King Radio, to the worldwide recognition of Calypso in the fifties with Lord Pretender, and the legends Lord Kitchener and The Mighty Bomber, The Rough Guide To Calypso Gold delivers a taste of real Calypso.
