Calypso King Of The World!
Bob Marley has been quoted as saying When I heardMighty Sparrow sing ‘The Slave,’ I knew what I wanted to dowith my music. The prolific and incendiary Sparrow createscalypso sounds so mighty that theyve won him multiple titles ofCalypso King in his native Trinidad. Recorded almost immediatelyafter cessation of his RCA contract, this first-ever reissue ofhis 1963 National Record Company album is filled with Sparrowsiconic singing style, wit, and (at times) scathing and provocativelyrics, including the salty tale of a Stupid Married Man andthe topical tune of Kennedy & Khrushchev!
This is the first ever LP reissue of the iconic debut of Sparrowsown National Recording Company. Sparrow (aka Slinger Francisco)has won Trinidad’s Carnival Road March competition eight times,Calypso King/Monarch eight times, and has twicewon the Calypso King of Kings title. The Mighty Sparrow has a few select US dates planned aroundrelease date! Right around his 84th birthday!
