In the midst of global challenges, the timeless art of calypso remains a unifying force, celebrated during Calypso History Month in October 2025. This year’s theme, ‘Calypso Unleashed: Boundless Harmonies,’ highlights the genre’s unique ability to educate, entertain, and unite. Declared in 2002, Calypso History Month honors the rich legacy of calypso, a musical tradition deeply rooted in Trinidad and Tobago’s culture. The Trinbago Unified Calypsonians’ Organization (TUCO) has played a pivotal role in preserving this art form, which traces its origins to the 1950s with legendary artists like Atilla the Hun, Lord Kitchener, and The Mighty Sparrow. Calypso, often described as ‘the voice of the people,’ has documented pivotal moments in the nation’s history, from political movements to social issues. Its educational value is unparalleled, with calypsonians like David Rudder and Brother Resistance using their lyrics to critique society and inspire change. Over the decades, calypso has addressed themes such as Caribbean unity, taxation, and global events, making it a powerful medium for storytelling. As the world grapples with modern challenges, calypso continues to resonate, offering a unique lens through which to view history and culture. With its enduring relevance, there is a growing call to integrate calypso into educational curricula, ensuring its legacy thrives for generations to come.
