So Calypso / book + 4CDs

Trinidad is the home of Calypso. The Soul of the West-Indies gave birth to hit songs like Rum and Coca Cola and the beat of Soca in the 70s. Nowhere else in the world are these musical styles celebrated as spectacularly as on the Caribbean island during carnival. "So Calypso!” reveals fascinating moments at the climax of festivities and along the sidelines in pictures by internationally acclaimed photographer Vern Evans. Music CDs: discover joy in music with Calypso and Soca hits and classics from Matilda to Shame and Scandal in the Family.
