Blandiver: If my memory's correct, the character who mainly sings this piece (Clementina) is a Spanish woman, so not non-White as such. I've never heard of Spanish people being considered non-White. However, the character is a courtesan in the sense of "an independent woman of "loose morals" (very loaded phrase) with a career in performing (in this case, dance) who is supported by her male patron." So can you please explain what you mean when you talk about "the political implications"?

About the calypso thing: I still want to be a calypsonian sometime in the future. It's just not my focus right now.

Grishka: I think my next stage will be doing an audio recording of the song, uploading it and posting the link.
