Calypso Extempo is a traditional form of improvisational music and performance originating from the Caribbean, particularly popular in Trinidad and Tobago. It combines elements of calypso music with spontaneous lyrical composition, where performers, known as calypsonians, create verses on the spot, often addressing social, political, or humorous themes. The competition aspect of extempo showcases the artists' wit and creativity, as they respond to prompts or challenges from the audience or other performers. This art form emphasizes verbal dexterity and cultural commentary, making it a vibrant part of Caribbean heritage.
