Calypso, produced by Ato Williams and written and performed by Terri Lyons, is an ode to the artform and the singer describes it as having a ‘back to Africa’ feel. -
After years of pursuing her dream, just as she was about to give up, calypsonian Terri Lyons achieved it by becoming the 2020 Calypso Monarch.
She immediately began preparing to defend her crown but the covid19 pandemic occurred, crushing those plans as Carnival 2021 was cancelled by the Government.
Despite these ups and downs, like many local artistes, Lyons continues to live her passion by recording, releasing and performing music.
The music must go on
Darryl Farmer Nappy -
TT Carnival 2021 joins a long line of carnivals that have been physically cancelled or postponed because of the covid19 pandemic.
Despite this, there has been a slow and steady stream of new music being released, as many artistes believe the music must go on.
Darryl “Farmer Nappy” Henry is one of many who has new releases for 2021. His Backyard Jam is in heavy rotation on the radio and he also recently released 1Fam with Machel Montano and Don Iko.
For him, music is a part of his happiness and is his livelihood. But, while this is so, he has also made other investments to “fall back on.”
