St Cross College Calypso and Soca Concert

In celebration of Black History Month, renowned musician Alexander D. Great will perform a one hour concert with a programme that celebrates the history of calypso and soca music. The programme will span songs from the origins of calypso through to well-known classics in calypso and soca up to the present day. Alexander was born in Trinidad and grew up in London, now dividing his time between performances, running his own record label and doing calypso workshops in schools, colleges and universities. He has performed on TV and radio in the UK, Europe, USA, Trinidad, Dominica and Canada – he has also been the Calypsonian-in-Residence at the BBC and the Windrush Foundation since 2000.
