A THEORETICAL ARCHIVE For their three-month exhibition entitled Sparrow Come Back Home, Carmel Buckley and Mark Harris install a temporary monument AS EXHIBITION to the living Trinidadian legend and Calypso singer Mighty Sparrow, born Slinger Francisco. Suggestive of a record Maiza Hixson store with 272 ceramic reproductions of Sparrow’s albums on shelves, the memorial also stands as a conceptual gesture—toward the commemoration of vintage vinyl and rapidly obsolescent record store. Each standard album-sized ceramic tile sits in chronological order and is emblazoned with a reproduced album cover design appropriated from the front and back of each of Sparrow’s LPs made between 1958 and the present. The covers are decals that are vitrified to the ceramic tile, forming a unique fossilized record of silence. In planning for this theoretical archive as exhibition, which the artists described as “non-cochlear,” curatorial discussions at the DCCA centered around how to translate the power of Sparrow’s verse without playing any of his actual songs in the gallery. Would this omission create a barrier for visitors to be able to appreciate his music and the impact of Buckley and Harris’s art? Furthermore, what is the ultimate significance of presenting a silent inventory of a singer’s life’s work? As Buckley and Harris write in a statement about the exhibition, part of the context for the silent monument is the ironic indifference felt towards Mighty Sparrow’s voice in the U.S. and in Britain compared to other world music. Growing up in England and raised by a Trinidadian mother, Harris only knew of the singer by virtue of the fact that his mother played Sparrow’s albums around the house. Despite Mighty Sparrow’s repertoire and influence in the Caribbean and limited exposure in North America and Britain, the American Harry Belafonte’s popularized version in the U.S. eclipsed Sparrow’s authentic calypso. It is not difficult to surmise that the Mighty Sparrow was censored from 1960s radio play, given the politically subversive nature of his musical protest against racial and class discrimination and the sexually charged nature of his lyrics. With the literal silencing of Sparrow’s Trinidadian slang and colorful English, it is fitting that Harris and Buckley would in turn stage a silent critique of the indifference shown Sparrow’s voice in the West. As visitors to Sparrow Come Back Home, we may also interpret Carmel Buckley and Mark Harris’s monumental exhibition as the visualization of a vast void in our own awareness of marginalized cultures—specifically, Calypso music and history. The conspicuous absence of information about Mighty Sparrow in dominant Western culture ultimately becomes the impetus to seek out his and other obscured voices upon exiting the gallery. opposite page: Maiza Hixson is the Gretchen Hupfel Curator of Contemporary Bang Bang Lulu in New York, digital Art, Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts decals on ceramic tiles, 2014 Mighty Sparrow with Sparrow’s Troubadours, Hilary Records vinyl LP cover, recorded Port of Spain, Trinidad, 1969 Crown Heights Justice, digital decals on ceramic tiles, 2014 Mighty Sparrow, Charlie’s Records, Brooklyn, vinyl LP cover, recorded Brooklyn, 1991 next page, left: Calypso Carnival with The Mighty Sparrow, digital decals on ceramic tiles, 2014 Mighty Sparrow, Melodisc Records Ltd., London, vinyl LP cover, recorded Port of Spain, Trinidad, 1968 Carnival Jam, digital decals on ceramic tiles, 2014 Mighty Sparrow, BLS Records, U.S. Virgin Islands, vinyl LP cover, recorded Brooklyn, 1995 next page, right: Digital ceramic decals.

DVD 14 chapters, ca 86 min. INFORMATION In the standard history of American pop music, the 1950s are a parade of rock icons: Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Elvis Presley. But after the demise of the great dance bands of the 1940s, rock 'n' roll didn't actually secure its position as the Next Big Thing until quite late in the day. For a few short months, in fact, it seemed that rock might be just another pas- sing fad – and that calypso was here to stay. From late 1956 through mid-1957, calypso was everywhere: not just on the Hit Parade, but on the dance floor and the TV, in movie theaters and magazines, in college student unions and high school glee clubs. There were calypso card games, clothing lines, and children's toys. Calypso was the stuff of commercials and comedy routines, news reports and detective novels. Nightclubs across the country hastily tacked up fishnets and palm fronds and remade themselves as calypso rooms. Singers donned straw hats and tattered trousers and affected mock-West Indian 'ahk-cents.' And it was Harry Belafonte – not Elvis Presley – who with his 1956 album 'Calypso' had the first million-selling LP in the history of the record industry.

Drawing heavily upon De Wilton Rogers’s The Rise of the People’s National Movement,(2) this essay will detail Williams’s association with the TECA and its education arm, The People’s Education Movement [PEM] between 1950 and 1955 when Williams made the transition from research to politics via lectures, first at the Port-of-Spain library, then before massive crowds in Woodford Square.

  • Celebrating Our Calypso Monarchs 1939- 1980
    Celebrating our Calypso Monarchs 1939-1980 T&T History through the eyes of Calypso Early History Trinidad and Tobago as most other Caribbean islands, was colonized by the Europeans. What makes Trinidad’s colonial past unique is that it was colonized by the Spanish and later by the English, with Tobago being occupied by the Dutch, Britain and France several times. Eventually there was a large influx of French immigrants into Trinidad creating a heavy French influence. As a result, the earliest calypso songs were not sung in English but in French-Creole, sometimes called patois. African slaves were brought to Trinidad to work on the sugar plantations and were forbidden to communicate with one another. As a result, they began to sing songs that originated from West African Griot tradition, kaiso (West African kaito), as well as from drumming and stick-fighting songs. The song lyrics were used to make fun of the upper class and the slave owners, and the rhythms of calypso centered on the African drum, which rival groups used to beat out rhythms. Calypso tunes were sung during competitions each year at Carnival, led by chantwells. These characters led masquerade bands in call and response singing. The chantwells eventually became known as calypsonians, and the first calypso record was produced in 1914 by Lovey’s String Band. Calypso music began to move away from the call and response method to more of a ballad style and the lyrics were used to make sometimes humorous, sometimes stinging, social and political commentaries. During the mid and late 1930’s several standout figures in calypso emerged such as Atilla the Hun, Roaring Lion, and Lord Invader and calypso music moved onto the international scene.

  • Chapter 2 Defining Calypso
    Cover Page The handle http://hdl.handle.net/1887/45260 holds various files of this Leiden University dissertation Author: Charles, Clarence Title: Calypso music : identity and social influence : the Trinidadian experience Issue Date: 2016-11-22 71 Chapter 2 Defining Calypso In the absence of conclusive evidence that points to a singular ethnic source of origin, analysis is launched from the premise that calypso music is a product of the ethno-cultural mosaics found within the boundaries in which it emerged, was developed, and exists as various strains with features that are characteristic, sometimes unique to its host mosaic. Etymology and Anthropology So far efforts by researchers to establish the origin of calypso music as a definite song type have been inconclusive. The etymology of the term ‘calypso’ in reference to that song type has proven to be as equally mysterious and speculation remains divided among contributors. This chapter of the study will touch upon literature that speculates about these issues relative to the emergence and development of the song type on the island of Trinidad. At one end of the discussion about origin Lamson (1957, p. 60) has reported the use of French melodic material in calypso, and Raphael De Leon aka The Roaring Lion (1987) has argued in Calypsos from France to Trinidad: 800 Years of History, that the genre was given the pseudonym ‘calypso’ some time in 1900, and derives from French ‘ballade’ created in 1295. He has also publicly asserted that, there is no evidence to support the claim that it is either a variant of African folk songs or that it was invented by African slaves in Trinidad.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS & SCIENCES “I THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING YOU”: CONSIDERING THE UTILITY OF RHETORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL CRITICAL APPROACHES TO KANYE WEST’S YE CORY N. STEINLE SPRING 2020 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor and Employment Relations with honors in Communication Arts and Sciences Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bradford Vivian Professor of Communication Arts & Sciences Thesis Supervisor Lori Bedell Associate Teaching Professor in Communication Arts & Sciences Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT This paper examines the merits of intrinsic and extrinsic critical approaches to hip-hop artifacts. To do so, I provide both a neo-Aristotelian and biographical criticism of three songs from ye (2018) by Kanye West. Chapters 1 & 2 consider Roland Barthes’ The Death of the Author and other landmark papers in rhetorical and literary theory to develop an intrinsic and extrinsic approach to criticizing ye (2018), evident in Tables 1 & 2. Chapter 3 provides the biographical antecedents of West’s life prior to the release of ye (2018). Chapters 4, 5, & 6 supply intrinsic (neo-Aristotelian) and extrinsic (biographical) critiques of the selected artifacts. Each of these chapters aims to address the concerns of one of three guiding questions: which critical approaches prove most useful to the hip-hop consumer listening to this song? How can and should the listener construct meaning? Are there any improper ways to critique and interpret this song? Chapter 7 discusses the variance in each mode of critical analysis from Chapters 4, 5, & 6.

Rohlehr: CARNIVAL CANNIBALIZED OR CANNIBAL CARNIVALIZED... Congo Man The Mighty Sparrow first performed “Congo Man” at Queen’s Hall, Port of Spain, Trinidad, early in October 1964 (Trinidad Guardian [TG] 5 October 1964). Over four decades since then, he has performed it regularly and recorded it six times (de Four 72). Treating it as a sort of signature tune, Sparrow delights in creating a new version of strange sounds every time he performs it. “Congo Man” has been cited by journalist Debbie Jacob as “Sparrow’s own all- time favourite” (Sunday Express [SE] 10 February 1991). An intriguing calypso that only Sparrow can convincingly perform, “Congo Man” has raised questions about the centuries-old encounter between Africa and Europe in arenas of ethnicity, culture, gender and politics; the racial stereotyping that has been an almost timeless aspect of this encounter; the erasure of any clear image of Africa from the minds of diasporan African-ancestored citizens of the New World, and the carnivalesque performance of “Africa” in the transfigurative masquerades of Trinidad and New Orleans.
