Title: The true roots of calypso
Product review: Various Artists"AFRICAN ELEGANT: SIERRA LEONE'S KRU/KRIO CALYPSO CONNECTION"(Original Music, 1992)------------------------------------------------------------Another gem in the catalog of musical folklorist John Storm Robert's fabled Original Music series. This disc documents the connection between the "palmwine" music of Sierra Leone and the rambling, rambunctious calypso music of the Caribbean. Artists include Ebenezer Calender & His Maringar Band, The Amukoke Group, Famous Scrubbs & His Band and others. If you are already a calypso fan, this disc will blow your mind: others may have to ease their way into it. Cool, rare recordings from the 1950s and beyond...
