'London is the Place for Me', taken from Lord Kitchener's sincere ode to London town, charts and documents the arrival of Trinidadian calypso on British shores in 1948, along with a large influx of immigration from the Caribbean. With them they brought the sound of carnival, and in turn, during the period of 1950 to 1956, calypso witnessed its heyday in terms of creative power - an often witty and innovative account of the day-to-day life and the pressing issues of the time. A record of immense historical significance, be sure not to miss this.
