The Mighty Sparrow

So this is a tribute page, no direct contact with The Calypso King of the World here. I am no calypsonian, not from Trinidad and Tobago, but a Oregon native trying to get The Mighty Sparrow into your heads.



I have grown to admire people of immense talent that focus their abilities in the direction of aiding the progression of society. The Mighty Sparrow has done that for nearly 50 years now, and where as most take a somber or stern tone in addressing the ills of the world around them, or offering up what they see as solutions, Sparrow's lyrics are found in the company of endearing brass, infectious beats and rythms and are comprised with wit and humor. So here is a paragraph from a bio I found. The rest is continued in the blog.

I am hoping to find more fans of The Mighty Sparrow through this site. Please use the comments to share your thoughts or memories related to the man.
