"A calypsonian is a guru. A poet and a revolutionary. A calypsonian is an obeah man. Reminding you of the feel of leaves on your skin from your grandmother’s bush baths. And the conch shell of your neighbour’s early-morning pujas. And the feel of lepayed earth under your bare feet in Iyalorisha Melvina Rodney’s palais, with your hands in the air, singing a response to Shango’s call like you are in the holy temple of soca."
