Calypso is the dance that goes with the Calypso music. It is African influenced, as the slaves created Calypso inspired by political and oppressive protests.

There are a few good videos here on youtube, check out the "Mighty Sparrow"

This site has a few video clips and a little info.

Look up "Calypso Dance" on ehow.com there's a little info.

We've had endless requests over the years for live percussion recordings of the traditional folkloric drumming from Trinidad. There's been a strange problem with the inside of the recording equipment rattling from the vibrations. We're working on a clear recording and I'll post when we have it. Thank you for the encouragement!

[blondine323]

this is soo cool, I took a dance class last semester for my pe credits and the last 7 or 8 classes, they invited teachers of different art forms to teach us, I remember doing this and just being soo happy :)

[hisangel2803]

Is there any way that I can get that recording... i have to do a show and the music is PERFECT!!!

[rlindle]

What is some music that I can for this style of dance? I have some "drums alive", but I love the music.

[Caribbeandrumdance]

We are using a basic Calypso rhythm from Trinidad. I've heard African and Brazilian rhythms that can sound similar. It's hard to find recordings of the traditional Trinidadian rhythms. Sorry, I don't have a recommendation.
