Back in the late 1930s and early 40’s, pre-World War II, there were a handful of Trinidadian folk singers finding their way into the recording studio singing & performing calypso. The songs were as colorful as the performers, who had names like King Radio, Attilla The Hun, The Growler, Roaring Lion and this one which was originally recorded by Lord Caresser in 1938. Here’s our take on “Clementina”.
