<description><![CDATA[Harry Belafonte is not just the wide smile and pair of slim hips that seduced so many American women in the 1960s. A crack songwriter and singer who introduced Caribbean music to the United States, Belafonte is also an activist who has fought tirelessly for civil and human rights in the U.S. and around the world. He was instrumental in cracking the color barrier in the U.S., winning fame and fortune for his stage acting (including several Tony awards), his film work, an Emmy-winning television show, and a string of hit albums through the 1950s. Born to Caribbean-American parents, Belafonte spent part of his youth in Jamaica, where he was introduced to local songs like "Day-O." As his reputation grew, so did his interest in the folk music that brought him success. In 2001, Belafonte saw a long-time dream realized when <I>Long Road to Freedom</I> was released. It was a visionary collection of African-American music that spans everything from Yoruba chants and slave songs to early blues recordings by artists like Brownie McGhee. And Belafonte has become no less political with age; in recent years he has been a keynote speaker at peace rallies and other leftist gatherings.

<description><![CDATA[Byron Lee & the Dragonaires have been Jamaica's musical ambassadors since the band formed in the 1950s. Bolstered by the success of Harry Belafonte's "Day-O," Byron Lee traveled internationally performing classic Calypso material. As the bass player, he anchored a well disciplined band that usually featured several singers (male and female) and a tight horn section. With the birth of Ska in the early '60s they found themselves at the forefront of a contagious new style, landing squarely on the world stage when they appeared in the James Bond film <I>Dr. No</I>. Lee always demanded discipline and a clean-cut appearance from his musicians, and although they became a bit passe in the '70s and '80s, Lee re-emerged in 1990 as the founder of the Jamaican carnival with the Dragonaires leading the way. Recently he's been jamming for Jesus with an unusual Soca/Gospel fusion.

<description><![CDATA[If the sparrow is the biblical symbol for the common man, the Mighty Sparrow's moniker is pretty darn accurate. The singer has made a career of speaking truths to power since he first took up a mic when he was just 20 years old. A Grenadan by birth who moved to Trinidad when he was a year old, Slinger Francisco grew up singing liturgical works (in Latin) as head choirboy in his church. But his ears were never limited: he listened to American jazz and pop singers as well as the early calypsonians of his day -- Lord Melody, Lord Invader, Lord Kitchener -- and he joined them in 1956 with his breakout hit "Jean and Dinah." Quickly nicknamed "Sparrow" for his flitting onstage presence, which contrasted sharply with the solid, accusing stance of most calypsonians, he added the "Mighty" and became a phenomenon, winning the annual Road March competition year after year and even scoring a triple win in 1958 for "P.A.Y.E.," "Russian Satellite" and "Theresa." His humorous and pointed social commentary has helped define Trinidadian national culture, and over the years the Sparrow has kept himself relevant by adopting the soca stylings his contemporaries turned their noses up at. He's also grown more lewd over the years, earning his latest nickname, "Dirty Old Man."

<description><![CDATA[These two singers are champions of a style of Calypso music called kaiso. It's like a stripped-down version of Soca that's easy to catch. Musicians lock into rhythms and the singers extemporize in what could be called Creole vocal gymnastics.

<description><![CDATA[Among the most enduring and charismatic figures in the history of Calypso/Soca, Lord Kitchener demands a smile. Author of such international dance hits as "Sugar Bum Bum" and "Give Me the Ting," he won his first carnival road march competition in Trinidad in 1946. He is credited with fusing steel pan music and Calypso, and in 37 years of Panorama steel band competitions, 18 winners sang his compositions. With an ear towards commercial appeal, he managed to write popular songs that contained both humor and social commentary. Even while he lived in London, he returned to Trinidad every year with a new song for carnival, and his presence was always vital and relevant. Political satire and risquÃÂ© jokes were standard fare. He continued to dance and sing his way through carnival until his death in 2000.

<description><![CDATA[Lionel Belasco is a preeminent figure in the formation of Calypso music in Trinidad. Born in 1881, he reputedly had already written over four hundred songs by the age of sixteen. Classically trained on piano, he enjoyed respectable parlor music as well as folk music from the Caribbean and Venezuela. As a bandleader, he utilized brass, guitar, violin and minimal percussion while coaxing bright, sweet melodies from the piano, and ballads, waltzes, Calypsos, joropos, Rumbas and pastiches were all part of his repertoire. He toured extensively throughout the Caribbean, the Americas, and Europe in the early twentieth century, and also appeared in films. With a fondness for "bush music," as he called it, Belasco incorporated Afro-Caribbean rhythms into his compositions. Many of his compositions have worked their way into popular music throughout the Americas, including the unforgettable "Rum and Coca-Cola," (based on his "L'anee Passee"). Charismatic and prolific, Lionel Belasco's legacy is in the irresistible charm of his songs.

<description><![CDATA[Strong, grounded vocals have kept Calypso Rose in the spotlight since she won the people's choice (Road March) award for Trinidad's Carnavals in 1977-78. One of the first women to succeed in a male-dominated field, she now sings Gospel music.

<description><![CDATA[Shadow has been a favorite since the '70s, singing politically-charged songs in his low, resonant voice. His song "De Bassman" made him a household name in 1974, and he's continued to explore Soca with his riding, bass-heavy dance grooves ever since.

<description><![CDATA[As his powerfully evocative name suggests, Black Stalin's music maintains a strong political edge. Calypso Monarch four times crowned, his music is high-energy, bum-shaking fun. His nasal-toned vocals inspire trap drum action and steady bass as horns blare and guitars skank.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[David Rudder has remained a crowd pleaser both at home in Trinidad and abroad, adding Funk and hip-hop elements to his already highly charged dance music. Exploring themes of the African diaspora and his Caribbean neighbors, his music has signalled a new political consciousness among youth through its combination of seriousness of purpose and winding, grinding grooves. As a singer, he's taken chances with different styles and techniques, yet has always stayed true to his exceptionally pure vocal talent.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Wilmoth Houdini was the most recorded Calypso singer during the formative period of the 1930s. His rhythmic, flowing voice has a haunting quality that stays with the listener. Wilmoth started off singing in Lionel Belasco's orchestra, quickly establishing his name and embarking on a solo career. Singing topical songs about women, gender relations, natural disasters, social and racial justice and plain old party jams, his songs play like an alternative history of Trinidad. Backed by percussion, guitars, and clarinets, this typical Calypso orchestration is not unlike a Caribbean version of a ragtime band. His popularity was based on witty lyricism that incorporates wordplay, satirical references, and risque overtures. Though he has long since passed, his music not only still entertains, it educates.
