Vintage calypso on Nelson Island

This event begins from 3 pm to 6 pm at the Nelson Island Heritage Site.

The iconic Lord Superior (Andrew Marcano) will head the cast and supporting acts include Brother Valentino, Brother Mudada, Twiggy and Abebele.

“Supie” as he is fondly called, started singing calypso at age 16 with the Victory Calypso Tent in Port-of-Spain. He then began performing at the Young Brigade Calypso Tent in 1956. His fellow calypsonians would have included the Mighty Sparrow and King Fighter. In 2014, Lord Superior celebrated his Diamond Jubilee in calypso. Lord Superior is a multi-talented artiste as he is a composer, guitarist and singer and also known for his extempo performances.

Brother Valentino, born Emrold Anthony Phillip, has been performing for over 50 years. He started his illustrious career in 1961 in the Big Bamboo calypso tent which was on Park Street, Port-of-Spain. His popular calypsoes over the years include “Life is a Stage” (1972) and “Stay up Zimbabwe” (1979).

Transport is being provided from the San Fernando Water Taxi Terminal at 1.30 pm and the Port-of-Spain Water Taxi Terminal at 2.30 pm.
