World-renowned jazz pan player Andy Narell and his band put on the University of Calypso at the Learning Resource Centre at UWI, St Augustine campus last week.
The show was a resounding success as stellar acts Lord Superior, Relator and David Rudder received standing ovations from the packed auditorium.
It was an evening of old-time calypso, comedy and sing-along for lovers of calypso, pan, jazz and good old-fashioned entertainment. The audience was encouraged to sing along with the performers and reflect on the yesteryear in calypso.
The audience seemed overwhelmed by the performances of the entertainers who sang their own compositions or great classical selections from Lord Kitchener and the Mighty Sparrow.
Lord Superior, dressed in trademark rim hat and box guitar, had the audience not only singing along but enjoying the comedy and lyrical style in the music during the first half of the show.
Relator came out dressed in black doing a number of Kitchner's tunes and included his characteristic one-foot-kick-in-the-air dance. Rudder did a number of his past hits much to the enjoyment of the crowd who sang along at every chance they had.
