Calypso Girl

This video serves as a perfect example of an biography of the all, but lost culture of the once mighty Afro-Caribbean. I have realized how the history of the early Africans and how the recreation of that history through the eyes of euro centrism. This can even be seen through the repression of such cultural elements as Music. Calypso music is the precursor or parent to Reggae, hop-hop, and blues, yet 8/10 musicians of that genre do not have any knowledge of this fact. As a band leader and producer I have trained fifteen different musicians from different backgrounds, ethnicity's, generations in this genre, but they all actively still perform many of the songs with other groups. That is what I have committed my last five years of my life to spreading the awareness of a music that serves as a cultural (religious, historical, art, self expression) land mark. We as an autonomous body of human beings must bring back the past, Becuase in this age of computers history seems all but forgotten.
