A calypsonian is a performer of calypso music, a genre that originated in Trinidad and Tobago. Calypsonians often use their songs to comment on social issues, politics, and everyday life, employing clever wordplay and humor. The art form is characterized by its rhythmic melodies and call-and-response patterns, and calypsonians typically perform during Carnival and other cultural festivals. Prominent calypsonians have played a significant role in popularizing this vibrant musical tradition.
