Sounds a lil different to kaiso,by all means very folky but not in a Calypso kinda way..couple Trini kaiso productions have also faced similar critique..

FEDERATION

BIG TUNE BY SPARROW

 
XDFIX 2017-02-20 13:53:36 

Boots was very popular in Yard

Yardies listen calypso with a different ear from other people in the region

For young Yardies it has to be up tempo a la boots, fire in wire, wrong name etc

imusic selections would never make it big in Jamaica or outside the region

Same thing with some of Analyst selections

ONE of the great all time calypsoes! Sparrow won 1962 Calypso King with this great one coming back after being dethroned by Dougla in 1961

I wish to dedicate :

" CAPTAIN THE SHIP IS SINKING "

By GYPSY , at this time it is very
appropriate for Members of the WICBC ;
& the Regional Boards .

Also the Great Donald J Trump , the
current President of the USA .I am of the opinion , that at this juncture
it is necessary to listen to Gypsy .
