ANTIGUA CALYPSO MONARCH Queen Ivana The Pope Young Destroyer Eddie Melo Singing Althea Sinker Bible

caribbeaninsighttv.com Virtual Museum is a collection of cultural documentaries demonstrating the history of West Indians.
Calypso, the oldest, has its roots in slavery; a common explanation of its origins is that it began as a way for slaves, who were forbidden to speak in the fields, to communicate with each other.

It is a polyglot, improvisational form that depends largely upon the skill of a soloist, (the calypsonian) who weaves the sounds of many cultures into a lyrical whole.

Calypso competitions have long been a highlight of Carnival. Featuring Scorpion ; Sleepy ; The Bear ; Sinker Bible ; Singing Althea ; Eddie Melo; Queen Ivana; The Pope ; Zacari & Young Destroyer

A stalwart in the calypso arena Tyrone Thomas, more popularly known as ‘King Edimelo’ died 4/17/2020, aged 60.
