Get Ready For Spicemas With @SlattaMusic’s “Carnival Flu”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Ready to wuk? Ready to have fun? It’s that time again. Grenada looks to turn it up this year at “Spicemas 2023“, so get your things ready. One thing to note however, there is something going around that’s a cause for concern. No it’s not another version of Covid, but according to Grenadian Artist Slatta, it’s a breakout of the “Carnival Flu“!

In this Palm Tree Vybez-directed video, Slatta has caught the “Carnival Flu”, and he’s happy about it. Over sounds by Xpert Productions, the Artist played Mas, and he wasn’t going to stop until he caught the flu. Spicemas will have many catching it, and that’s ok. Just make sure you have your Vitamin C, Vics Rub, Rubbing Alcohol, and Bitters handy. For better results, make sure you have a wining partner. The Carnival Flu is predicted to take over Bajan Crop Over as well, so be prepared.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Mighty Sparrow – Jean & Dinah (1956)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Closing off another “Black History Month“, today’s Oldies Sunday selection salutes another Black talent who has made an impact on the world and the music culture. Today, we check out Calypso Icon Mighty Sparrow, and go back into time to check out his track, “Jean & Dinah” a.k.a. “Yankee’s Gone“.

Arranged by Cyril Diaz And His Orchestra and released through the Kay label in 1956, this was a song that featured Mighty Sparrow shedding light on the large-scale Prostitution that American Military bases supported in Trinidad and Tobago during the post-war period, the desperation that many Prostitutes went through after the closure of said bases, and the departure of the troops. He mentions a few names other than “Jean & Dinah” (The track was also called “Jean & Diana”) who did what they had to do to make a sale, but when things got bad, their businesses had to downscale. Sparrow also mentions that Night Clubs were feeling the pinch too as they were the go to spots for Military personnel to hang out, and the meet up spot for many Prostitutes to conduct business. With Sparrow’s social commentary and well written lyrics, “Jean & Dinah” became not only his first hit, but the song lead to him becoming a winner in the 1956 Trinidad Road March competition, and wearing the crown at the 1956 Calypso King/Monarch competition. “Jean & Dinah” has become one of his most famous songs, and it helped him to bring Calypso music to various parts of the world. It was covered by American Actor Robert Mitchum in 1957 (A Gentrification move?). A true legend, Mighty Sparrow went on to become “The Calypso King Of The World“, and his influence, sound, and wit birthed generations of artists and the blending of musical styles.

THANK YOU MIGHTY SPARROW
