Socio-cultural change and the language of Calypso

Abstract

A good calypso is usually remembered for one of two reasons; either the lyrics are outstanding or the melody is infectious. In the former case, it matters little that the melody cannot even be hummed correctly. What is said is so powerful that it stands on its own. In the latter, the lyrics are only incidental to the beauty of the tune... Naturally, the truly outstanding and unforgettable calypso is the one that manages to combine both these elements with success.
