Calypso Music

Caribbean Calypso Music

This is the place to listen to some of the best calypso songs ever recorded. Most of the songs are by the two best Calypsonians ever (by far), The Mighty Sparrow and Lord Kitchener. Listen to calypso music from other great Calypso artists like David Rudder, Sugar Aloes, Baron, Explainer, Black Stalin, Gabby, Calypso Rose, Lord Invader, Gypsy, Grynner, Byron Lee and many more.

I'm happy to add this section. After all calypso music is the mother of soca music. It wouldn't be fair to have a soca web site and not pay respects to kaiso.

Have fun listening. I will keep adding to this list of songs, particularly including songs from other Caribbean islands besides T&T, so be sure to bookmark this page and come back for more.
