Original

Calypso Carol, a three-verse Christmas song, is a joyous, upbeat seasonal tune that would be appropriate for student Choruses and amateur choirs. Calypso, like all Caribbean music, has its roots in Africa and underwent enormous transformation through the experiences of the people of Trinidad and Tobago, for whom it was a method of political expression. In the 1930’s, calypso rhythms entered popular music in the US and the West and then enjoyed a resurgence in the 1950’s and 1960’s, when Calypso Carol was penned.
