'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.
