Everyone is aware that David Michael Rudder is an awesome singer who has written and sung some of the best calypsos ever! This feeling is echoed on many websites on the Internet. Allmusic.com had this to say about one of my favorite David Rudder songs and the subject of this post - Calypso Music: "The title track of his 1988 album Calypso Music remains one of the best selling songs in calypso history."

This version by Élan Parlé with Roger George at vocals will surely become a classic; yes this is a collectors item.

We all love David Rudder and his music. However, today I am featuring a version of Calypso Music that I simply love. I first heard the song played by Damion Melville on www.wackradio901fm.com. It took me some time to get the track but I was able to get a link to embed the song from http://www.reverbnation.com. Listen to this jazzed up version of 'Calypso Music' as done by the group "Elan Parle". Their music is sold under the banner of Kaiso-Jazz, World Fusion Music. This version is just awesome - listen and enjoy!

"The album that started it all "Tribal Voices", elan parle's 2000 debut  album. Critically acclaimed featuring the amazing vocals of Roger George singing David Rudder's "Calypso Music". Other hits include "Sambo" and "Jacket"."
