EventDetails

'Kaiso 365' Calypso Monarch Finals @ P.C Ho Theatre, Chinese Cultural Centre

The storytelling tradition gets the red carpet treatment when nine finalists compete for Canada's top Calypso prize. Music lovers experience a unique expression that is delivered with humour, double entendre and wit. Song topics range from personal to political, social commentary to celebration - a reminder that Calypso heritage is a vital link between us and the African griot, the keeper of our history. This year's show also features special guest Alex D Great - the reigning Calypso monarch of England.

    Are you serious? Is that a picture of Buju Banton or a reggae artists as the image to advertise the Calypso Monarch Finals show? Allow me to introduce you to just a few names who would have been more relevant in promoting a calypso show,
    Lord Kitchener, Mighty Sparrow, Calypso Rose, David Rudder,Lord Melody, Maestro,Karen Ashe, Kizzy Ruiz, Macomere Fifi, Pan Man Pat, Mr Wonderful et al. Please don't make these kind of errors. If you don't know, ask.
