CALYPSO REVUE

Local, regional and international calypsonians join together for one exciting night at the Lionel Roberts Stadium for the much anticipated Calypso Revue. This is not a competition; instead, calypso lovers are treated to the diverse styles of these artists who hail from several different places. It is a night filled with the traditional calypso style.


Calypso Revue appeals to a more mature audience which can relate to the more seasoned calypsonians such as Short Shirt, Swallow, Sparrow, Crazy, Hunter, Francine, Rose and others, who always perform crowd favorites that brought them stardom. This is also an excellent opportunity for young and aspiring calypsonians to observe these older artists and perhaps gain some insight to add to their own presentations. Additionally, some of the visiting performers are young, upcoming calypsonians in their hometowns who have already captured the coveted title in their respective islands, while others were very impressive and are sending notice that they will be forces to be reckoned with in the future.


Whatever your age or preference, the artists at the Calypso Revue entertain the audience with their wit, humor, lyrics, antics, melodies and overall stage presentations, sometimes even renewing old rivalries. Musical accompaniment is provided by some of the Virgin Islands’ best musicians. This all results in one exciting night of entertainment where judges and score sheets are forgotten.
