Kaiso Power: Sound Revolution in Trinidad out May 29th 🇹🇹 #calypso #music #vinyl #trinidad #fypシ

The streets came alive and so did the music 🎶 In the early 1970s, Port of Spain was the epicentre of a movement of students, artists, trade unionists, shaking up the society with marches, Carnival protest bands and armed struggle for justice. And in the recording studios, theatres, panyards a new generation of voices were beginning to be heard. Lancelot Layne, Delano Abdul Malik De Coteau, Andre Tanker, Clive Zanda and Mansa Musa. These weren’t just musicians, they were teachers, community workers, radically shifting the way that music was performed and experienced. Kaiso Power is a peep into the untapped treasures of a revolutionary generation - the music they made to build consciousness, call for justice and reclaim power for the people. Kaiso Power: Sound Revolution in Trinidad compilation is a collection of rare calypso and jazz tracks from 1970s-1980s Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 The vinyl LP + full album out May 29th.
