I was born in Aruba,from 5 yrs old to 15 yrs old grew up in Dominica went back to aruba,at 17 yrs moved to st.croix ,virgin islands ,so I am a true Caribbean man, now living in California disable veteran, i will always remain a true Caribbean man
My father had all his records. I grew up in Trinidad. My parents were from Trinidad. I miss Soca music. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just discovered it again.
When it comes to Byron Lee and the Dragonaires, you can close your eyes and select any tune on any album. Great man, real great. Background music always tops the rest!!
@Hope D Greetings! No, I am not Jamaican. You wrote, "you people are always trying to elevate yourselves". Is it bad to try to elevate yourself? I wish that more people would try to elevate themselves instead of accepting their circumstances when those circumstances are unfavorable. GO E
so many memories of this great music while i was in the navy and ashore in Jamaica , Trinidad etc. Byron, Sparrow to name a couple . bless them always and forever.
Byron Lee made this white guy in the middle of farmland in Michigan buy steel drums, and now I am probably the only pannist in the county 🤣 Thank you, Byron!!! My wife is Aruban though, so maybe that had something to do with it...
I'm in my early 40's. This is my parent’s soca. Sweet soca. I grew up on the tail end of this, and the modern stuff like Hinds, and Montano...But old school soca conjurers up memories of backyard bbq's and picnics in the park from a time past.
It's amazing how one comes to know something. If I hadn't been a fan of British murder mysteries, I never would have known this band existed-or heard their music. Thank you, Death in Paradise for using this music, and thank you Byron Lee and the Dragonaires for creating it!
@Medic Webber: Nice comment! Be advised, however, that Byron Lee did not, necessarily, compose the music that he produced. He took the best music from each Trinidad Carnival, improved it with "big band" music, used his own singers (sometimes), and created albums from each carnival. GO E
This is the great Byron Lee in his glorious shining days sweating in the sun rays days. Let us take this cruise to each musical calypsonian and rega base player or mixer of Award Winners of musical great composers of the Caribbean Islands. Hamilton was one of Byron Lees' Jamming favourite. Byron Lee energized his seasoned blends of 'Caribbean flavoured condiments; hot like pepper bass rhythms. For several New Years at the Convention Center. “Byron Lee & The Dragonaires - Classic Soca Medley” Ah telling you so from meh memory 2017.
@Omar Joseph: Please specify when "today" started. There are great songs from Rupee, Biggie Irie, Krosfyah, Crazy, and some others, made during the current century. GO E
Byron Lee was another wonderful musical protege of soca music, who made the 'steel pan' instrument a melodious form of livening up the soca making it sound joyful. May he have a blessed peace where ever he's at.
l love calypsos. Give me some of Lord Kitchener also.
