A Dance Calypso at Last: Hilford Hurst’s ‘Broom Bram’ Moves the Season

Finally, there is a dance-calypso in the mix!

With so many social and political offerings this season, Hilford Hurst’s “Broom Bram” stands out on its own. It’s a breath of fresh air—reflective, a little melancholic, but irresistibly dance‑driven.

The video follows an artist slipping back into a familiar state of mind he hasn’t felt in years. Steelband music takes over his headspace, pulling him into movement he can’t control. The song captures that moment when rhythm overrides reason, tenors, guitar, and bass pans swirling in his head—when the broom bram, broom bram washes over his senses and he has to surrender to the sweet melodious vibe of the steelpan!

By the time he reaches the repeated phrase “Heat. Heat,” the music has completely taken control of him. It serves as a beautiful reminder of how calypso continues to engage both the body and the spirit.
