Buda y su charanga / Pitun - Calipso Afrolimonense - Calypso from Costa Rica - Video
PUBLISHED:  Mar 04, 2017
DESCRIPTION:
Enjoy this rare footage of Limon's Calypso scene in the beginning of the 1980s. Back in the 1940/50s, Pitun used to play in the band Los Miserables, together with Costa Rica's Calypso King Walter Gavitt Ferguson (author of the Tracks 1 and 3). In the 70s and 80s Buda was a protegee of Ferguson. Retired from the stage himself, Ferguson wrote several Calypsos for Buda as well as about Buda.
Many thanks to my friends Jorge "Peck" Ferguson (Cahuita) for introducing me to this gem, to his father Walter Ferguson, to Adrian Allen (ItalSelecter, Puerto Viejo) for helping me transfer it and to Alfonso "Gianty" Goldburn (former musician of the Buda Band, now playing in Kawe Calypso) for being still active.
