Of course, back then, we didn’t have that luxury—but what about Kenny Phillips? He’s been doing incredible work to make sure we get a taste of it now. The cultural revival is happening, and it’s growing every day. What’s really exciting is that the younger generation, the ones who didn’t get to witness calypso’s rise firsthand, can now dive into these digital restorations and experience it in a way that’ll last for as long as we want. It’s like giving new life to something timeless. It's truly remarkable, isn't it?
Your dream has become reality! The WACK Visual Radio YouTube page now features restored and revitalized hidden gems from the TTT archives, thanks to the painstaking efforts of this celebrated music producer and someone I consider a friend and true cultural ambassador of our culture. Once lost to the past, these timeless calypso and steelband performances are now resurrected, polished, and prepared for a whole new generation to enjoy.
Now, every beat, melody, and lyrical declaration is more audible than ever thanks to the miracle of audio restoration. Imagine experiencing the energy of the renowned steel orchestras of the time, Sparrow, Kitchener, and Lord Melody, again, but with the added vibrancy that comes with modern technology. We present the chronicles of past calypso performances, as follows: Ronnie McIntosh, Tigress, Kurt Allen, Mighty Duke, and Gypsy. Without the use of a time machine, this experience is similar to going back in time.
It's a chance to relive memories for those who were present at these events. And for newcomers to the genre, this is an opportunity to witness the foundation upon which today’s Caribbean music thrives. These performances are not just entertainment; they are historical artifacts—testaments to the ingenuity and resilience of Trinbagonian culture.
This YouTube music player will be regularly updated by Kenny; we recommend that you frequently check back for all the updates on Kaiso Dial, ensuring that everyone can still enjoy these iconic sounds. The past is calling, and Kenny has given us the means to answer.
Watch, listen, and relive—because the heartbeat of Calypso and Steelpan never fades; it only gets stronger. That legacy will endure for as long as we desire.
