The music of the Caribbean is a mixture of styles encompassing traditions that reflect the nature of its many islands and ethnic groups which inherited a multitude of rhythms imported by slaves from West Africa. Europeans brought with them Western-style melodies and harmonies, still used today in Trinidadian calypso, a traditional folk genre which gained worldwide popularity thanks to internationally famous artists such as the American singer Harry Belafonte (Calypso, Island in the Sun, Day-O/Banana Boat Song). Fascinated by this music which embodies the very spirit of exoticism, Roland Kernen composed Caribbean Calypso, a composition with softly swaying rhythms which followa gentle and subtle melodic line in a rum and cigar-flavoured atmosphere.

Roland Kernen nodigt muzikanten en luisteraars uit om zijn Caribbean Calypso te ontdekken:een compositie met zacht wiegende ritmes die een rustige melodielijn volgen in een sfeer van rum en sigaren.

Die Musik der Karibik fasziniert durch die eindrucksvolle Verbindung vieler verschiedener Stile, die aus dem Schmelztiegel der zahlreichen dort lebenden ethnischen Gruppen entstanden sind. Roland Kernen lädt ein, seinen Caribbean Calypso zu entdecken, eine Komposition mit leicht wiegenden Rhythmen, die einer sanften, raffinierten Melodielinie folgen in eine mit Rum und Zigarren geschwängerte Atmosphäre.

La musique des Cara bes est aussi plurielle que les îles et les ethnies qui la composent. Fasciné par cette mosa que qui sent bon l’exotisme, Roland Kernen vous invite découvrir Caribbean Calypso (“Calypso des Cara bes”), une œuvre aux rythmes chaloupés qui distille une délicieuse ligne mélodique sur fond de rhum et de cigare.

La musica dei Caraibi è varia come le isole e le etnie che la compongono. Affascinato da questa musica esotica, Roland Kernen vi invita a scoprire Caribbean Calypso, un brano dai ritmi ondeggianti caratterizzato da una deliziosa linea melodica sullo sfondo di rum e sigaro.

As the title suggests, Calypso Isle is a light, breezy Latin piece that includes the percussion section: Maracas, Claves & Bongo Drums. It is suggested that this section be brought stage-front as a feature of the performance. The director should feel free to add to this section additional players and instruments. Notice the repeat at mm. 3-10. The Low Brass and Woodwinds enter the second time. At mm. 36-41 there are multiple repeats in the percussion section, to be extended as desired; then cue in the ensemble at m. 42. Here the director might encourage some rhythmic improvisation among the players.
