Ajamu comes from the
island of Grenada.
He is adept in
Calypso, Soca,
Parang and Reggae.
Few Caribbean
entertainers can
match him for his
ability to write
music, compose sharp
and deep lyrics, or
arrange music.
He began singing
calypso in 1983
after a one-year
stint in Trinidad
and Tobago where he
experienced first
hand the great
calypso stars in
action. Once he
arrived on the
calypso scene, fans
welcomed this breath
of fresh air and
dubbed him “KING
AJAMU”, a title that
he answers to.
Ajamu holds the
unprecedented title
as the seven-time
Grenada Calypso
Monarch, winning in
the 1987, 1988,
1990, 1991, 1992,
1995, and 2004, and
he continues to make
outstanding musical
contributions.
Ajamu became a
member of an elite
group of three
calypsonians honored
by Britain’s Queen
Elizabeth II, with
the prestigious
title “Member of The
British Empire” (MBE)
in December of 1998.
