A companion volume to "Calypso at Midnight", featuring a transcription of a radio performance from 1946. While some of Alan Lomax's recordings function best as museum pieces, these performances are great fun. Lord Invader, Duke of Iron and Macbeth are on hand with their orchestras. Alan Lomax serves as MC.

This calypso concert, sponsored by People's Songs and hosted by Alan Lomax, was performed in December 1946 at New York's Town Hall during the post-World War II calypso boom in the United States. Three of the greatest New York-based calypsonians, Lord Invader, the Duke of Iron and Macbeth the Great, are accompanied by Gerald Clark & his Invaders, performing a mix of well-known and, especially in Invader's case, original material. These CDs are a sentimental journey back to an historic performance of early calypso in the U.S. and back to the era when progressive politics and folk music were joined.

Part of a series of concerts (Blues at Midnight, Ballads at Midnight, etc.) staged between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., which offered a lively after-theatre destination for New Yorkers, this was no ordinary set. Here is a sweeping overview of the many forms of Trinidadian folk music performed live in concert.

Lord Melody - Old Time Calypsoes by maharajah




Lord Melody (1926 — 26 September 1988) was a popular calypsonian, best known for singles such as "Boo Boo Man", "Shame & Scandal", "Jonah and the Bake", "Juanita" and "Rastaman Be Careful". Melody's career spanned some forty years, from the early development of popular calypso to his embrace of a reggae influenced sound in the late 1970s. He was one of six calypsonians who were chosen to sing for Princess Margaret at the Governor's House during her visit to Trinidad in 1956; the others were Sir Galba, Mighty Dictator, Mighty Spitfire, Mighty Panther, and Lord Viper. He frequently sparred in song with the Mighty Sparrow on this topic. Rivalry between Melody and the Mighty Sparrow was recorded in the calypsos "Ten to One is Murder" and "Sparrow Have a Gun". The humorous rivalry between the two calypsonians was immensely popular with audiences. Another one of Melody's calypsos, "Shame & Scandal" (composed in 1962), became an international hit and was recorded in the U.S., Europe and Australia. Lord Melody died from cancer in September 1988, in Port of Spain.
