Thanks, Jr. That tune's been in my head a bit lately following that great Blue Note film that was on Beeb 4 the other week. That was a quality version.

A few wee late present ideas from Lord Kitchener for the ideal Calypso Christmas.

Snow is falling, the land is covered and it's bitter cold out there but in my heart I'm momentarily transported to a warm beach by Marcia Griffiths 'I Shall Sing'. Happy Caribbean Thursday.

For this Caribbean Thursday why not visit radio 4 at 11.30 and celebrate what would have been the 80th birthday of godfather of dub, King Tubby.

Well, Excavated Shellac is the gift that keeps on giving.
The entry for Jamaica gives us the wonderful Count Lasha (alt. spelling):
Count Lashers Calypso Quintet -Trek to EnglandTerence Parkins aka Count Lasher was a talented and significant mento star, though little biographical information on him has surfaced. He recorded at least 7 discs for MRS, and numerous others for Chin’s and Caribou (sometimes under the name “Count Lasha” or, occasionally, totally uncredited). He continued recording into the 70s and even issued reggae singles before passing away in 1977. This track features some terrific clarinet and guitar, as well as some nice banjo plunking. The lyrics address the issue of immigration by Jamaicans to England. Also important – it has never been reissued.
The blog also points to
a resource that has been mentioned before here but always worth a look on a Caribbean Thursday.Comment
