Once again, the Calypso magician has put on his Griot armor to deliver a social commentary calypso for the people. "The Last Bardjohn of Calypso," Kurt Allen, is back with a report to educate the people. He wants you to know who is responsible for your district, their role in parliament, and to share some lighthearted banter along the way. The song is titled "Welcome to Parliament." After hearing this song, you won't need to look up who runs each government agency.
The combination of Kurt and Kenny, the double K's of Calypso, brings us this new song out of their "challenge music productions." This track is challenge number three. We have the song via the SoundCloud player, but we have also posted the "challenge video" discussion and the recording of the song. Kurt offers commentary on his role as the 'griot.' Watch and learn how and why he delivers music that resonates with the population and his neutral position in politics. He simply calls it as he sees it! Kenny also discusses his role as the employer and manager of his business, emphasizing in the video that making tough decisions is necessary because it's just business.
The lyrics for the song are simple... Kurt is simply reporting the news, incorporating his clever writing style to deliver the facts with masterful precision. Kurt states that education is the key; it serves as a teaching tool and he goes on to provide insight into the makeup of our system of governance. "Welcome to Parliament" was composed and produced by the incredibly talented Kenny Phillips of KMP Music. Together, they've created a piece that's both thought-provoking and undeniably musical.
The song is simple yet incredibly catchy and danceable. Everything feels excellent and the BPM is perfectly balanced. You get to enjoy some excellent music while learning about the people who will determine the failures or success of the new government.
Don't miss out on this new music release! To all the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago: Be sure to know your 41 MPs and the constituencies they represent. And to the incoming class of representatives, welcome to Parliament! Kaiso, Kaiso!
