Calypso Kings and Pink Gin

Various Artists
Calypso Kings and Pink Gin In a tent somewhere in Port of Spain, calypso kings of past years gather to exchange extemporaneous lyrical insults, just like a game of ping pong. The result is highly amusing, highly enlightening and highly creative. Those assembled include legendary rivals Lord Melody and Mighty Sparrow, besides King Fighter, King Solomon and Nat-Hepburn with the March of Dimes Quartet. (Be sure to listen to SWF40453 Calypso Awakening from the Emory Cook Collection.)
