Very interesting record to me... thanks.
(There are some different rhythms/songs on it, some are well known. For your terming, there is not one calypso on it :)
It is a reissue from “Ti ta to” in 1956 (Bahama, BRL 20)...
greetings Jeanluc .. cheers for the info ... & i'll remove the calypso label for you (i checked him out on wiki & it said he was a calypsonian so i assumed most of his work fell int that category) .. out of interest, if pushed, what genre would you pidgeon-hole this into?
peace ;)
As you posted some Terminal Cheesecake a while back I thought you might be interested by some of their earlier incarnations like Purple Things... you'll find some Vibes as well their first band...
well... if interested visit http://punksonpostcards.blogspot.com/

interested... indeed i am .. .. & on my way there right now .. cheers for letting us know!
peace ;)
A little influences there are, some color from the Bahamas I think.
I'm no expert in this,
A4, A5, B1, B2, B5 are boleros.
B4, B6 are son.
A2 is kind of voudou song,
A3 meringue, I think.
A1, B3 are haitian songs where I can't define the rhythm...
wowsers .. immense thanks for the breakdown .. much appreciated & good to learn these things
peace ;)
Haitian native André Toussaint abandoned Papa Doc for the sunny shores of Nassau, The Bahamas and forged a successful career in the 1950s and '60s as a lounge singer of native calypso music, much of which he composed. on this collection. Toussaint's music was considered particularly refined, differing dramatically from the Goombay and Junkanoo music of the Bahamas. Fluent in French, Haitian, Italian, and Spanish, Toussaint often juxtaposed Bahamian folk songs with more popular world music. Toussaint was an excellent guitarist, a fact that betrays his greater talent than that expected from a "lounge" singer. Toussaint continued to perform in Nassau until his death in 1981.
