Caribbean music in the United Kingdom
People of African descent from the Caribbean have made a significant contribution to British Black music for many generations.
== Trinidadian Calypso ==
Large-scale Caribbean migration to England recommenced following the Second World War in 1948. The ''Empire Windrush'' carried almost 500 passengers from Jamaica, including Lord Kitchener, a calypso singer from Trinidad. By chance, a local newsreel company filmed him singing "London Is The Place For Me" as he got off the ship. In 2002, ''London Is The Place For Me: Trinidadian Calypso, 1950-1956'' was finally released in Britain. The 1951 Festival of Britain brought the Trinidad All Steel Percussion Orchestra (TAPSO) and Roaring Lion to public attention. The smart set in Oxford and Cambridge adopted both calypso and steelband for debutante parties. In 1959, Trinidadian Claudia Jones started the Notting Hill Carnival. They brought Mighty Sparrow and others directly from Trinidad. Edric Connor had arrived in England from Trinidad in 1944. He starred in a West End musical called "Calypso" in 1948. A white Danish duo, Nina & Frederik, recorded several calypsos from 1958 to 1962, scoring in the charts. Cy Grant (from Guyana) sang a song by Lord Kitchener in the TV drama ''A Man From the Sun'' in 1956. It told the story of Caribbean migrants. From 1957 to 1960, Grant sang calypsos on the BBC TV news programme ''Tonight''. In 1962. English comedian Bernard Cribbins had a hit with "Gossip Calypso".
