商品詳細情報



カリプソを代表するミュージシャン、ロード・インヴェイダーが 1959 年にリリースした名盤が待望の復刻! ざらつきのあるダイカットにジャケットを貼り付けたようなフォークウェイズ・レコーズ特有の装丁も実に素晴らしいです。

Lord Invader was one of the most iconic and well-regarded calypso musicians of the mid-20th century. Coming from humble beginnings in the musical hotbed of Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, Invader gained notoriety for his unique voice and lyrical prowess. 'Calypso Travels,' his final album released just before his death, was produced in New York in 1960 by Folkways founder Moses Asch. The album showcases Lord Invader's talent for biting lyrics that reference contemporary happenings, such as the rise of Fidel Castro, his experience at the 1956 World Fair in Belgium, the arrival of the Little Rock Nine in 1957 desegregating the public schools in the United States, and his touring experiences in Europe in the 1950s. An icon of Caribbean music, and one of the major forces exporting it to the world, Lord Invader epitomizes the spirit of calypso - boisterous, acerbic, and joyful. This reissue is part of Smithsonian Folkways Vinyl Reissue Series, bringing to light hidden gems from the extensive collection and revisiting some of the most iconic and influential albums released by the label. This album is being released alongside other international classics 'Gambian Griot Kora Duets' by Alhjai Bai Konte, Dembo Konte, and Ma Lamini Jabote and 'Tuareg Music of the Southern Sahara'.
