    Calypso
    • Calypso Jamaica – Darling I'm starving so
    • 1. Darling I'm starving so
    • 2. Kinsey report
    • 3. Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me
    • 4. Spelling song

    This is not the glossy, occasionally dross calypso that entertains tourists or wins Calypso King competitions. It is more rustic in flavor, speaks more to non-urban audiences and is accompanied only by guitar, banjo and marimba. There's a bit of magic here that your average "Tourist Joe" wouldn't get to see.
