album Sandy Gamory With Syd Joe And His Caribbean All Stars Orchestra - The Calypso Man mp3 download

Calypso is the third studio album by recording artist Harry Belafonte, released by RCA Victor (LPM-1248) in 1956. The album became his second consecutive number-one album on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart, where it peaked for 31 weeks. Calypso is well-known as the first LP record album to sell over one million copies and is considered by many critics to be one of the greatest albums of all time.

Calypso music is deemed as the World's most happiest music which is probably why the first watered down Calypso LP (Bellefonte) in the history of music to sell more than 1 million copies! The Calypso dance in Trinidad originally was the Bamboula and or Chica of the 1880's, while today it is referred to 'Jump Dancing' during Carnival in the Port of Spain.

Calypso is a style of Afro-Caribbean music that originated across the Leeward Islands and Windward Islands in the Caribbean during the early to mid-17th century. Its rhythms can be traced back to West African Kaiso and the arrival of French planters and their slaves from the French Antilles in the 18th century. It is characterized by highly rhythmic and harmonic vocals, and is most often sung in a French creole and led by a griot

Calypso was a sea goddess and daughter of Atlas. In the days of myth and legend, the beautiful Calypso ruled the seas, and all sailors both loved and feared her, even though she too had mortal blood. As a heathen goddess, Calypso was able to take many forms, but since the crab was attributed as her symbol, she chose that form. According to one particular legend, Calypso fell in love with a young sailor named Davy Jones

This new album features the music of Calypso in its many forms - from its birthplace, the island of Trinidad, as well as other Caribbean islands (Jamaica and the Bahamas), and its subsequent onwards journey (Britain, Panama and the United States), recorded during the years 1955-69. Calypso is one of the most exciting and enduring forms of musical expression to emerge from the beginning of the 20th century - swinging, persuasive rhythm, brilliantly expressive melodies and lyrics of great humour and wisdom.
