Description

lnk.piranha.de/calypsochristmas_amazon It's nearly Christmas time again, and Berlin's kings and queens of retro, Lord Mouse and the Kalypso Katz, are working overtime to bring a blast of sun and paradise to the cold greyness that blankets the city. To warm up your hearts in the cold winter time they recorded the song “Calypso Christmas (Christmas in Trinidad)“ – the world record holder for a song that has the most words that rhyme with "Trinidad."! “There are a lot of immigrants among us, remember, with many background and customs in regard to Christmas. So in an attempt to unify a sense of longing to be in a familiar place far away, Trinidad was the obvious answer.“, as Lord Mouse describes the collective homesickness of the 7-nation 17-member band. Although none of them comes from Trinidad, it acts as a metaphor for everyone in a globalised world, whose family has drifted across the world, without time or resource to embrace each other in the spirit of the cold season. The cheery music will help melting the snow off of your balcony, and keep your feet tapping at the same time. Recorded in Paris and mixed in Berlin "Calypso Christmas" is made especially for their fans as a special thanks that have helped to elevate the band to the Ambassadors of Caribbean music in Germany. "Featuring 17 musicians alongside six charming backup singers, Europe's first big Calypso orchestra undertakes the incredible challenge to revive the classic sound and the cheeky spirit of Trinidad's popular music of the forties and fifties. (...) this Berlin based band of international players promises to be the talk of the next festival season." - Mondomix September/October 2013
