@fiftymusic.bsky.social"Matilda" (sometimes spelled Mathilda) is a #calypso song. Some songwriting credits are given as Harry Thomas (rumoured to be a pseudonym combining #HarryBelafonte and his guitarist, Millard Thomas, but #ASCAP simply lists Harry Thomas alias Harry Belafonte, the writer of "Hold 'Em Joe").
@sokah2soca.bsky.socialRoderick “Chuck” Gordon gets personal, sharing how life’s toughest moments shaped his music and mindset. A grounded, honest look at the man behind the voice.

@sofiarwillcox.bsky.socialWhat does #MightySparrow have to do with the #Amazonrainforest? A 2,000-kilometre journey, a century of evolution, and a total sonic explosion of #Trinidadian #calypso that swept across #Brazil in the #2000s.

@shirleychisholm.bsky.socialRest in Power Slinger Francisco known as The Mighty Sparrow👑🙏🏾💖 . . . . "In this world, social injustice / Seem to be the normal practice / Some reform become evident / When it's politically expedient / For human rights I will fight." - Mighty Sparrow (excerpt) #legend #calypso #mightysparrow

#Calypso will never be the same
@qwesttv.bsky.socialMighty Sparrow, the Calypso King of the World, has died aged 91. From "Jean and Dinah" in 1956 to eight Calypso Monarch titles, he made calypso a musical, social and political voice heard far beyond Trinidad and Tobago.
