Chalkdust Pan Have We DNA

PAN HAVE WE DNA includes this season’s winning calypsos which Keith Smith (Trinidad Express) describes thus:

I In Town Too Long is “a coherent calypso that couldn’t fail to impress old and young… the veteran bard in fact singing two songs in one, the first giving him the opportunity to show-off his relationship with long-time Trinidad and the second the opportunity to comment on things in the Trinidad and Tobago of today.”

Ah Don’t Rhyme “…brought the entire Dimanche Gras audience -as it did in the tents – into the song by the creative conceit of having them supply the chorus rhymes, the kaisonian [Chalkdust] having set up the process by affirming that when he is vexed his chorus cannot rhyme the rhymes, in the chorus, though, so obvious that man, woman or child listening would have to be ignoramuses not to guess-or, indeed, shout them to the high guffawing heavens.”
