A little date night mixed with some networking ❤️✨ Spent last night at Kaiso Conversations with Freetown Collective at the Central Bank Auditorium and I really enjoyed it! Good music, great conversations, familiar faces and just a really nice evening out. Always nice to get dressed up, enjoy something different, connect with people and spend some quality time together. 🥰🎶 Calypso history month! Sharing a few moments from the night!

Soca triggers elation. Calypso makes you think and feel. But are we giving the next generation enough of both? 🎶🇹🇹 In this episode of Calypso Conversations, Preedy talks about why artistes need to stay connected to young people, not just to entertain them, but to inspire them, help them connect with their emotions and show them the power of music as storytelling. And speaking of storytelling… 😂 Preedy gets tested on a hilarious tale of two gifts, one for a lover, one for a sister - a mix-up told by a lyrical master. How well do you know your lyrics? 👀 We dedicate this edition of Kaiso 101 to the incomparable Mighty Sparrow, whose wit, storytelling and extraordinary contribution to calypso will live on for generations to come. 🕊️🇹🇹 🎙️ Calypso Conversations with Rawkus Presented by Rawkus Designs in collaboration with Bocas Lit Fest

Only in Trinidad could a song about a recession become a wedding anthem 🇹🇹 That’s the genius of calypso. The melody makes you move, but the lyrics make you think a little harder. Because a song that initially sounds like a tropical getaway is actually about corruption 👀 In this episode of Calypso Conversations, reigning Calypso Monarch Terri Lyons explores the layers of meaning behind our music. We’ve been singing along for decades. But how closely have we really been listening? 🎶 🎙️ Calypso Conversations with Rawkus Presented by Rawkus Designs in collaboration with Bocas Lit Fest

What happens when the people making the music stop hearing the people they’re making it for? Calypsonians are observers and advocates. They found stories in ordinary life sometimes in something as simple as the consequences of leaving a tin of condensed milk open. That relatability mattered. It still does. For our first Calypso Conversation, Muhammad talks about what we risk when artists become disconnected from the everyday lives of the people they entertain — and what calypso can teach us about finding our way back. The stories were ours. That’s why the music stayed with us. 🎶 Calypso Conversations | Muhammad Muwakil Brought to you by Rawkus Designs in collaboration with Bocas Lit Fest
