Origin of Calypso Calypso rhythms can be traced back to the arrival of the first African slaves brought to work in the sugar plantations of Trinidad and Tobago. Forbidden to talk to each other, and robbed of all links to family and home, the African slaves began to sing songs. They used calypso, which can be traced back to West African kaiso, as a means of communication and to mock the slave masters. Trinidad was colonized by the Spanish, received large numbers of French immigrants, and was later ruled by the British. This multi-colonial past has greatly impacted the development of calypso in Trinidad. Many early calypsos were sung in a French-Creole dialect called patois ("pat-was"). These songs, usually led by one individual called a griot, helped to unite the slaves. Calypso singing competitions, held annually at Carnival time, grew in popularity after the abolition of slavery by the British in the 1830s. (It was the French who brought the tradition of Carnival to Trinidad.) The griot later became known as the chantuelle and today as the calypsonian.
The genre of music known as Calypso is a style of Caribbean folk music which began among the African residents (originally slaves) in the British and French colonial islands around the early 20th century. The first forms may have appeared on the islands of Trinidad and Tobago north of Venezuela.
Calypso music uses several indigenous and adopted instruments, among them drums such as bongos, conga, and the steel pan (which gives a distinctive sound to calypso and similar music).
It is closely related to the "soca" music popular in Trinidad and Puerto Rico.

Well, calypso was first recorded in the 1930's. It is a combination of African and Carribean music styles. The two must have mixed together in the 20th century to make calypso.
Melody is the most important part of the music. It is the tune of the song. Harmony is the part that plays along with the melody.
