🎧✨ Who’s tuning in here in 2024? This is an all-time favorite for me! 🥰 I can still picture it vividly-Raphael Isobara Bassey’s father playing this timeless tune whenever we visited their home in Lagos. 🎶🏠 Oh, those golden days! 🌟 The memories, the music, the magic-does it still strike a chord with you too? 💭❤
Oh CALABAR in the days of South Eastern State live was so sweet and valuable .Da uwem ama si nem etieti . Continue to rest in peace of the Lord uncle Papa Inyang Nta Henshaw ,I could remember when you use to brosh your teeth with a well design chewing stick ,call okok in our language.
So interesting! Trinidadians also speak of "Griots" only found in West African locales such as Senegambia, Mali, and like the Hausa tribe in Northern Nigeria and surrounding regions. I've also heard talk of Liberian and Kikongo origins 😅 who truly knows..? Perhaps a conglomeration of all.
@@aaron0077 You are not wrong, but equally interesting, is the fact that calypso used to be called Kaiso! Kaiso is a word from amongst the Efik and Ibibio people of Old Calabar in South south Nigeria! The word is usually shouted out when people are dancing, the connotation being for people to " get it on" or "get down" to the groove ! Many Africans made captives were shipped out of the south east region of Nigeria during the transatlantic trade!! It makes sense that the cultural vibes of the people resurrected and resurfaced in the Caribbean islands! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!

This is deeply nostalgic. I miss my childhood in Calabar!

Efik.I great ette
I've been looking for this song for so long. Thank you for bringing it back to life.
When I hear these melodies and the groove, it tells me where calypso music originated from!!
Old Calabar !
