Here I was, about to head into the weekend without a musical interlude when my colleague MB came up with this awesome Caribbean jam:

“On the heels of Mardi Gras in the US and Carnival in various countries, I thought it might be fun to honor those celebrations with a little calypso from Trinidad <<< Yeah, mon.

David Rudder is one of my favorite calypsonians and here’s one of his award-winning songs, “The Hammer.” It’s a tribute one of Trinidad’s great steelpan players.

A great way to start off the weekend!”
