 | | Calypso is a style of Afro-Caribbean music which originated in the British and French colonial islands of the Caribbean at about the start of the 20th century. | | | The most well-known calypso, however, is the "Banana Boat Song", a traditional Jamaican folk song, whose best-known rendition was done by Harry Belafonte on his 1956 album Calypso; Calypso was the first full-length record to sell more than a million copies. | | | By the 1920s, calypso tents were set up at Carnival for calypsonians to practice before competitions; these have now become showcases for new music. |
