Although our island Trinidad and Tobago is known internationally for our natural energy resources, to name a few: Oil & Gas, and our Pitch lake, however, we are also known for our country’s rich culture.
And a huge fraction of our culture can be found in Calypso. "What is Calypso?", you may ask. Calypso is a style of Caribbean music that originated in the isles Trinidad and Tobago during the early to the mid-19th century and spread to the rest of the Caribbean Antilles and Venezuela by the mid-20th century.
Sadly to say, one of our greatest Calypsonians, Leroy Calliste, who is better known as Black Stalin passed away earlier today, aged 81. However, he left back a catalogue of longlasting classics bearing profound lyrics and melodies which which will forever be captivating.
