Brother Valentino- Bro. Valentino (COLOR VINYL)
BRO. VALENTINO, Anthony Emrold Phillip, began his illustrious career in 1961 at The Big Bamboo, a minor calypso tent in Port of Spain, Trinidad, before breaking into the professional scene in 1966 at the Lord Kitchener's Caravan calypso tent. Voted among the top 50 calypsonians of the 20th century, four of his songs have also been selected in the Top 200 calypsos of that period - "Life is a Stage" [1972], "Barking Dogs" [1974], "Dis Place Nice" [1975] and "Stay up Zimbabwe" [1979], while his 2004 history treatise "Where Calypso went" was selected as Calypso of the Year. Valentino can be assured of a place among the pantheon of calypso luminaries in the hallowed halls of Calypsodom. Includes unlimited streaming of Stay Up Zimbabwe (Limited Edition) via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
