Hi all, My son needs to do a music homework of writting a simple calypso song !!
We've tried to find some examples on the net to give us a clue as to a tune, but can't find any. Anyone help ??

Jason

Beautiful Girls - Shawn Kingston

Just about anything from U2

Anything from Bob Marley

U2 is rock, Marley is reggae.

Harry Belafonte was calypso. Daylight come and me wanna go home

I was thinking more of Island In the Sun

Owz about "I'm going to Barbados" by Typically Tropical.

Surely can't get more calypso than that.

Recently just been copied by Venger Boys as "I'm going to Ibiza"

I always smile when my kids thinks the covers are the originals and they ask me how I know such "modern" songs.
