Discover Calypso with Arc Music

by N/A

Overview

This lively collection from the Arc label celebrates the vibrant Afro-Caribbean sounds of calypso music. Spanning from the 1950s to contemporary times, the songs on Discover Calypso are at times playful, cheerful, and filled with the laid-back style that has come to identify many of the Caribbean traditions. Filled with chiming guitars, horns, steel drums, and other lively percussion, this is a joyful and pleasant calypso collection. ~ Timothy Monger
