Lancelot Layne...a musical Trojan

Coming out of the late 60s was the era of the combos(musical groups),Rockerfellars, Cassanovas, Esquire Now and many others.

Among the leading names were, musicians Clive Bradley, Michael Boothman, Ancil Wyatt, Andre Tanker and Lancelot “Kebu” Layne.

While each went on to become a Trojan in his own right,it was Lancelot Kebu Layne who went off in a musical direction which blew away Trinbago.

It was called Rapso, earning Lancelot the well deserved title “Godfather of Rapso Music”.

His “Blow Way” was a direct spear at radio deejays who promoted “foreign music” ahead of the local variety. He told them forcefully “get off the radio”..Apparently today’s deejays still haven’t taken his advice.

Lancelot’s body of work is tremendous, and I am happy to see it resurrected.
