- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Lord Blakie, aka D’Warlord, was a legendary figure in the world of calypso. In his autobiography, he shares his journey and experiences as a calypso artist, shedding light on the art-form's rich history.
CARIBBEAN INSIGHT TV's mission is provide innovative, practical and top quality programs that will serve as a conscious raising vehicle and a cultural organizing tool, identifying the social values and attitudes which equates to West Indian people. Our first responsibility is to the viewers watching our programs and the business who used our services to reach their target audience.
Calypsonian Carlton Joseph,The Lord Blakie was born on November 3, 1932 and died January 6, 2005. He was one of the greatest of our old time calypsonians and an all time favorite of mine.
Blakie aka D’Warlord was one of the greatest exponents of the calypso art-form in the calypso era of the last century. He was also a well known street fighting man in his day , a badjohn and gambler from San Juan, Trinidad; a place famous for badjohns in that era.
So, when Blakie sings on violence , he’s singing based on his experiences, as he does in this one , with the chorus “Dey say Blakie kill a man”.

CARIBBEAN INSIGHT & LADY V, YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY THERE'S ANOTHER VETERAN KAISO MUSICIAN YOU HAVEN'T **SHOWCASE** YET. ONE & ONLY MIGHTY CONQUERER. WILL BE WAITING FOR IT.
From a child l loved Blakie's calypsoes. The manner in which he performed was so entertaining you couldn't stop watching. In his time, in my opinion he was the bomb, especially with "move leh mih geh mih share" that was kaiso..S.I.P.
