Barbados Calypso Tents 2009

A Barbados Calypso tent is not something to take along on a camping trip, but a traditional meeting place where Calypsonians and "kaisonians" perform songs with cutting social commentary and rhythms to move to.  

Calypso tents have been around since the 1960's and every year a Calypso King has been crowned, with the exception of the year when a Queen Rita Forrester reigned. The other crowns to be claimed are Calypso Monarch, Party Monarch and for the first time this year the Sweet Ragga Soca Monarch.

The calypso tent judging will be followed by the Pic-O-De-Crop calypso competition semi-finals on July 24th, 2009, and the finals on July 31th, 2009.
