Its starting to grow on me im just exhausted of listening to rap and hip hop all day me and my grandma being jammin to this music!!!!
Where did it Originate and who are legends or huge names/modern day calypso music/new artist?
Is all of it fast because im 19 and I have the ability to barely keep up
Byron Lee is one right!!!!
Answer:
hmm where to begin? Most of the artiste in the first part of the list are those who built the art form, and many of them no longer sings (except for the chutney artiste). But you can get quite a lot of their songs using Ares (thats what i use) or even on itunes etc.
Calypso is more 'social commentary' ie songs about what is going on in society than music you can dance to. some of the best includes Ras Shorty I, Mighty Sparrow, Lord Kitchener, Might Bomber, Might Terror, Mighty Duke, Chalkdust, Sugar Aloes, Singing Sandra, Original Defosto, Luta, Baron, Denise Plummer, Christopher “Tambu' Herbert, Explainer, Scrunter, Black Starlin, Might Shadow, Lord Melody, Calypso Rose, Singing Francine, United Sisters.
Kizzie Ruiz, All Rounder, Twiggy, Brian London, Karen Ache
Soca, on the other hand is much faster. Soca has Groovy Soca - slower soca songs, these are slower tunes that, as the name implies, is great for grooving with the gf/bf, Chutney Soca - mix of chutney and soca, and Power Soca which is songs that are very fast paced and really makes you want to dance.
Some of the artiste includes:
Ras Shorty I, Ronnie Mc Intosh, Super Blue/Blue Boy, Lord Nelson, Iwer George, Ajala, Colin Lucas, Drupatee Ramgoonai, Rikki Jai,
Machel Montano HD, Patrice Roberts, Farmer Nappy, Destra Garcia, Allison Hinds, MagaDan aka Maximus Dan, Tizzy and Ela Kru, Denise 'Saucy Wow' Belfon, Nadia Batson, Kes the band, Shurwayne Winchester, Blaxx, Olatungi, Trini Jacobs, Ian Alvarez aka Bunji Garlin, FayAnn Lyons, Peter Ram, Berbice, Talpree,
Chutney Soca includes:
Ricky Jai, Dil E Nadan, Ravi B Nisha B and KArma, Hitman, Hunter, Sundar Popo, Heeralal Rampartap,
have fun.
