the CD
The production of this, the second compact disc in the joint Canboulay – Sanch venture, makes accessible the outstanding calypsos from the post war pre-Sparrow era of the 1940’s and 1950’s. We have augmented the selections on the original cassette production so that a more complete and enjoyable experience of the period and our show Ah Wanna Fall is represented. Indeed, as listeners will discover, the decade offered some of the sweetest and most memorable melodies, predominantly those of Kitchener, Wonder, Panther and the incomparable Spoiler on whom the drama was built. Altogether they convey the shifts in musical content that marked changes the society itself had undergone. Re-live and enjoy.
