Serious ray minor kaiso from Trinidad, undated but approximately 1958. Obscure, unknown calypsonian The Blind Sensation regales us with tales of long time carnival, backed by Roderick Borde and his Calypso Kings. "Camboulay" refers to Cannes Brules, the burning canes which were a staple of "Canboulay" or "Kanbule" in Trinidad, a festival started by Afro-Trinidadians who were forbidden by European colonial elites to take part in carnival during the 19th century. Forgive the crackles and pops on this copy - as you can see from the photo, it somehow has flecks of paint on it.
