Calypso music is an essential part of Trinidad Carnival and adds to the excitement and fun of the celebration. However, calypso has been supplanted as the music of carnival and has taken a back seat, way to the back, as it relates to what people want to hear and party with during the festive carnival season. Having said that, Calypso music is not dead, and there are many talented artists choosing Calypso instead of Soca as their contribution to Trinidad and Tobago's carnival culture. Today, we feature some of the upcoming artists and songs that made the cut for Carnival 2023 in Trinidad and Tobago.
Be sure to check out some of the up-and-coming talent and discover your new favorite calypsonian. DJ Aaron 868 is our musical conductor for this Kaiso journey; this is the Culture Box! The Culture Box, the brainchild of DJ Aaron 868 features some of the latest calypsos you need to hear! It is a shame that the radio stations in Trinidad and Tobago, except WACK Visual Radio 90.1 FM, are not playing our calypso, the mother music of our world-renowned carnival. We are doing our part by featuring the music here where you can access it 24/7/365. Now do your part and share the post with your social media contacts to help popularize the songs.
Now, before we get into the music, let's present some Calypso information as it relates to Trinidad's carnival. If you want to learn more about Calypso's history, click on the "Kaiso" menu above and select the topic you wish to learn about.
Calypso music has a profound impact on Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival. It is the heart and soul of the celebration. It expresses a wide range of emotions, from joy and celebration to social commentary and political satire.
Calypso music has been part of Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival since the 1800s. It developed out of African drumming and singing traditions, and it was initially used to tell stories and pass on information. In the late 1800s, calypso music took on a more political tone, and it criticized the colonial government.
In the early 1900s, calypso music became more popular, and it was used to express a wide range of emotions. It was also used to celebrate Carnival, and it became a central part of the festivities.
Today, calypso music is still a central part of Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival. It expresses a wide range of emotions, from joy and celebration to social commentary and political satire. It is also used to unite the Trinidad & Tobago citizenry and remind them of their shared culture and history.
Here are some of the ways Calypso music impacts Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival:
- Sets the tone for the celebration: Calypso music is upbeat and festive, and it sets the tone for the entire Carnival celebration.
- Provides a platform for social commentary: Calypsonians often use their music to comment on social and political issues, and this helps to raise awareness of significant issues.
- Unites the people: Calypso music is a shared love of Trinidad and Tobago, and it unites the country's people during Carnival.
- Is a reminder of culture and history: Calypso music is a part of Trinidad and Tobago's culture and history, and it helps to keep the country's traditions alive.
Calypso music is essential to Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival. It is a vibrant and colorful tradition that makes Carnival one of the most unique and exciting celebrations in the world.
