Kaiso, Kaiso, yes, Kaiso—welcome to the Calypso Vault—celebrating the timeless artistry of Kaiso. This is a space dedicated to Calypso’s wit, rhythm, and spirit of rebellion. From vintage picong to contemporary creations, Kaiso Dial shines a light on the voices, verses, and visionaries shaping Trinidad and Tobago’s rich musical legacy—one clever chorus at a time.
Get ready to immerse yourself in the vibrant soundscape of classic Calypso! Press play and take a journey through legendary tunes, thoughtfully mixed and curated by some talented DJs who love Calypso music.
We’re especially grateful to our friends at Sokah2Soca, who have generously shared their collection of Calypso mixtapes for your listening pleasure. Mr. Desmond originally curated and mixed these beloved mixes, which were produced and featured on Sokah2Soca, and they will now find a permanent home right here on Kaiso Dial.
As we continue refining the site’s layout and format, we’ll keep releasing more Calypso mixtapes—so you’ll always have music to enjoy. Pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back, and let the rhythms of Calypso fill your space. Kaiso Dial aims to be your go-to Calypso music source.
DJ Jo Jo Lo kicks off our journey with some memorable Calypso music on Deso's online radio station, "Mr. Desmond."
