Though originally from Africa, calypso hitmaker King Selewa found his way to Trinidad after some time, taking up residence amidst the roots of the music for which he had come to stand. Interestingly, while much of modern calypso has grown more closely attuned with other Caribbean genres (soca, steel band, reggae), Selewa takes much of his form from the classic format. On CALYPSO: BACK TO MI HOME, he acts as troubadour, composing songs around notable figures and news items while maintaining an upbeat musical style. The result can be lifting, as cultural values are listed out in musical form. Fans of the more modern Caribbean traditions may be a bit surprised by Selewa's more traditional style of calypso, but they should also be pleased with that surprise.
