Sure. But, according to Wikipedia, some 77% are, with only 0.3% of Trinidad's population being ethnically European. When I said 'audience', I meant the people in the same room as you listening to you sing. Am I wrong in assuming that the calypsonians you're hoping to learn from/sing with are black (or mixed race black)?

"Negro" has become, thankfully, an archaism. But while it's not quite as shattering a word as "nigger", it's pretty damn close, whether speaking etymologically, historically or practically. I singled out that line because I think that some words are just so highly charged that I can't think of any good reason any non-black person ought to use them in any circumstance other than reluctant quotation. It goes beyond context or intent of the person using that word (And, while a song is "quotation", it's not "reluctant", it's enthusiastically entered into.)

Of course, art isn't about "good reasons", and there always remains a place for a strategic, sensitive, informed breaking of taboos... Play it by ear.

As I said, I'd sing it if I were you.
