Mikey Dread “Roots and Culture” 1982
Classic roots reggae from the man who produced and sang backing vocals on The Clash’s “Bankrobber,” ran the legendary Dread at the Controls radio show, and helped bring dub to the world.

Sad to learn that one of the all-time greats, Mighty Sparrow, has passed away at 91. Trinidad's most famous calypsonian, always infusing his songs with sharp political wit and humor. A friend and influence to many, including Van Dyke Parks. Here he is performing "Jean & Dinah."

RIP Mighty Sparrow (9 Jul 1935 - 27 Sep 2026). Legendary #Trinbagonian #calypso and #soca vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist born Slinger Francisco, in Grand Roy, Grenada.
Widely regarded as the most influential figure in the history of calypso music. Though born in Grenada, he in Port-of-Spain, #Trinidad, after his family relocated there in 1937, and it is with Trinidad and Tobago that he is most closely identified.
Sparrow's breakthrough came in 1956, when his composition "Jean and Dinah", a commentary on the withdrawal of American servicemen from Trinidad after World War II, won him the National Calypso King title and reshaped the art form's lyrical ambitions.
Over a career spanning more than seven decades, he has won Trinidad's Calypso Monarch title eight times and the Carnival Road March competition eight times, records that established him as, in his own popularized phrase, the "Calypso King of the World."
Beyond his competitive dominance, Sparrow's significance lies in his fusion of biting social and political satire with melodic accessibility, tackling colonialism, race, sexuality, and #Caribbean identity in songs such as "Slave," "Education," and "Congo Man."
