Kaiso Power observes a crucial decade where Trinidadian calypso splintered into jazz, soul and politically charged hybrids, shaped by newly independent, post-British Empire urgency. Many artists contribute, the compilation leaning reliably on the talented shoulders of Clive Zanda, Andre Tanker and Lancelot Layne, kaiso musicians tangled with Black Power movements and spiritual revival. 'Ogun' opens with ritual, minor-chord weight, 'Tabu' and 'Umbawa' emerge into formless, flute-led improvisations against shimmering drums prone to break out into calypso-funk flareups; later, 'Calypso Zest' and 'Beat The Drum' keep percussion front and centre, coiling steel, skin and chant round a strong rhythmic pole.
