As English replaced "patois" (Antillian Creole) as the dominant language, calypso migrated into English, and in so doing it attracted more attention from the government -it allowed the masses through music to challenge the doings of the unelected Governor and Legislative town Councils. Calypso has since gone on to inspire many other musical genres including: Ska, Reggae, Socca, Rocksteady, Soul and Funk. Here at Viper we have selected some of the finest exponents of the genre from the first half of the Twentieth Century - Listen to the great: 'Lord Executor' 'Atilla The Hun' or 'The Roaring Lion' tell us with great aplomb about the trials, folk tales and tribulations of Caribbean living!
