Walter Gavitt Ferguson- Mr. Gavitt: Calypsos of Costa Rica (CD)
Calypso survives sporadically in Limon and Bocas del Toro (Panama), especially around Carnival time, in the spring. Elsewhere on the mainland, the calypso culture is gone, driven out by radios and jukeboxes broadcasting Latin pop music. The young men sing the radio songs. Only the old remember how people once entertained each other with home-grown lyrics... Walter Ferguson.
