Andy Narell and Relator, two names that invoke a sense of the innovation and wit that mark true calypso will get together for a show that will feature classic calypsos by Lord Kitchener, Lord Melody, Mighty Terror, Zandolie and Relator, among others. The two have collaborated before, on a phenomenal album, “University of Calypso” and the 2-DVD set, “Alive,” of five films. Narell will be arranging his composition of “The Last Word” for birdsong Steel Orchestra for Panorama this year. Remember when he did “Coffee Street” for Skiffle Bunch back in 1999? Relator had done a marvellous medley of Kitchener tunes with Narell, and he was the perfect choice to perform these classics with the WDR big band. They will be performing with a band that includes Raf Robertson (who also teaches at the birdsong Academy) and the talented guitarist, Theron Shaw. And as if that is not enough for the night out, David Rudder and Lord Superior will also perform. Tickets for this classic concert are $250 and are limited, so call 662-3968 to order. |
The University of Calypso has such a charming ring to it, and the pairing with The University of the West Indies makes it irresistible, but that is not all there is to enchant about the evening of classic calypso on offer at the Learning Resource Centre at the St. Augustine Campus. Happening at 7pm on a night that is right in the middle of everything, this coming Wednesday, it promises to be an oasis.
