CALYPSO: A WORLD MUSIC

album coverAlbum cover: Authentic Jamaican Calypsos. London International, 1950s.

This album of mento songs was released in England with material that appears to have been derived from Stanley Motta's MRS label, the first commercial recording company established in Jamaica. Among the vocalists on the album is the influential Lord Fly, one of many mento artists recorded by Motta during the 1950s.
