This album features insouciant, trenchant, and politically incorrect commentary on the war of the sexes, clothed in jaunty rhythms and with tongue firmly in cheek.
The lyrics are placed in the few melodies used by all performers in the 1935-41 period covered by the CD. The great names of the "golden age" of Trinidadian calypso are represented - Tiger, Attila, Lion, King Radio, Growler and others. The accompaniment features piano, horns, violin, bass, and trap set, contributing jazzy instrumental interpolations on the generous 23 selections included here.

By the way, this is a GREAT CD...
Hello, sorry I found your blog so late! I'm hoping you might be able to re-post part 1, as it is no longer available on Mediafire even though part 2 is. I'd be very grateful.
P.S. Mediafire is of course notorious for blocking access to uploads because "x song may be available on Amazon" - which it rarely is. Dropbox or MEGA are reliable while Mediafire is arbitrarily stupid, just saying. :)
