Hello, I' m looking for a calypso song. I heard it on a free podium in the Sunset Bar in Puerto Viejo de Tamarindo (Costa Rica), It's about a woman drinking rum and doing the cooking and the cleaning (or not doing it anymore after drinking...). Anybody has an idea if it exists on CD or even cassette tape? It's a beautifull song. it was played by a local group on wed 25 oct 2006. Thanks!!
Carl

It's quite likely newly minted by the people you heard. The genre has been around for a while tho...

Guest 21 Jul 12 - 01:40 PM, very similar lyrics to the ones that you asked about are found on this Mudcat thread http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=40845#3233786.

The lyrics to the Caribbean song "One Solja Man" were posted on that thread in October 2011 by Q. As cited by Q, that song was included in the 1951 book Folk Songs of Jamaica Oxford University Press.

As a result of reading your query and Q's post, I published a post on my cultural blog about the song "One Solja Man". Here's a link to that post:

I will also add some comments to that Mudcat thread in which the lyrics are posted.


Best wishes,

Something like "Peas and Rice" sung by Ella Fitzgerald - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxaNrKdzO3s
