Juxtaposing Calypso lyrics and commentary with the elemental force of Wind, Calypso Drift And Wind presents a provocative premise. In 2017, Category 5 Hurricane Maria devastated the Eastern Caribbean island of Dominica, inflicting damages estimated at a staggering 226 percent of its GDP. This book asks an intriguing question: did any of the lyrics from the 2017 Calypso season foresee or capture the spirit of this catastrophic phenomenon? Deeply rooted in socioecology, social history and actual live performances, this work provokes the imagination and insight of calypso lovers, songpoets, political players, journalists, historic narrators, and ethnomusicologists alike. This is the third in the Calypso Drift series, the first is Calypso Drift (2014) and the second, Calypso Drift And Water (2026).
