13 жыл бұрынDuring the postwar years after Lord Kitchener left for England, and before The Mighty Sparrow "arrived" on the scene in 1956, the Lord Melody was probably the most notable calypsonian around.
Melody was funny, imaginative and lyrical, and one of his biggest hits of that era was "Jonah and the Bake", a story of a Baptist preacher from Laventille and his four little children.
From the 1957 record album "Calypso Kings and Pink Gin" here is Lord Melody's "Jonah and the bake", recorded live at the Young Brigade Calypso tent, where he is introduced by the Mighty Sparrow.

you cannot get masterpieces like this again and unfortunately the state doesn't truly recognize these artists where is the museum dedicated to these performers

I am trying to let my children hear some of what we grow up on, And I was surprised to see that they received it just like how we did many years ago. So I will like to say thank you for making it so easy to find a nice compilation songs and hits.

This is one great calypso. If you grew up in a time when things like that happened you will understand the song.
