About oldtimecalypso
All the tunes on this channel are original recordings from Trinidad from the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Spanning an era that witnessed the great depression, World War Two and the twilight years of Britain's Colonial Empire, they represent the best of Trinidad music, both calypso and instrumental dance.
Each recording is accompanied by a series of vintage Trinidad postcards and photographs from the era.
With strong roots in African tribal "riddims" and drawn from everyday life, these songs and instrumentals provide a wonderful record of life in Colonial Trinidad.
