A Tribute to Kitchener, New York - Kitchener was a simple man.  He
was not charismatic as Sparrow or Duke (two other top calypsonians) but
what he lacked in charisma he gained in lyrical superiority. Kitch
was a master lyricist.
He was a Griot (African storyteller) and displayed that inert quality in
his many classic calypsos like: ‘Old Lady Walk a Mile’ ‘Mango Tree’ ‘The
Road’ ‘Mama this is Mas’ ‘A New Born Nation’ ‘Mas in Germany’ ‘Belmont
Young Gals’ ‘Pan Night & Day’ ‘Trini & Bajan’ ‘Slippery Anne’ ‘When a Man
is poor’ ‘Pan in Harmony’ ‘Toco Band’ and the many beautiful gems that
will remain in the halls of classic calypso for ever.

http://www.panonthenet.com/pancalypso2005/kitch.htm Congratulations To Andre White of ADLIB Steel Orchestra on capturing the New Yorks male Aquarium Double Seconds Title. Question of the week? Should the canopies be removed from the steelbands at panorama? Desperadoes Win This
Round... In an exclusive follow-up with Clive Bradley, arranger for Desperadoes, the ace musician told When Steel Talks that "in all my experience, I was never called upon to do that type of work, changing tempos and stuff. The selection (the version I worked from) was made for that type of thing. In the [John Legend] video, the guy is playing a piano, and there is a bass and a drum as well, and the guy is singing his ass off. And there are only three chords in the whole tune, but the way he [John Legend] put the chords together, it suited my liking. It was the first time I had done that type of work, and everybody seemed to be enthused. The band did a good job."
