In the forties, Rum & Coca Cola was the best selling Calypso record in history, yet the famous manufacturer was not involved in this success. Although US Radio stations banned the song on grounds of free advertising, lustiness in the lyrics and for its references to alcohol, however, Coca’s rival Pepsi approached Lord Invader in 1945 to do another Calypso commercial. This song - Pepsi Cola – never made it to a record and has been found only recently. Other wars include stick fight battles, a drum war between Deleon & Simeon, and cricket & boxing battles. Alan Lomax introduces the whole concept. The last song - Edward VIII - is not a war, but I wanted to close down with a peace treaty. 古いラジオ音源で、ヴンテージカリプソがたくさんきけます。

Dirty Jim’s Swizzle Club was a famous Calypso tent in Trinidad: notorious for its battles or wars among the great Calypsonians.
