Quote for Reflection (Sunday, February 20, 2022)

“Calypso is much more than a song. It is expressive of a culture or a way of life. This culture is also captured in reggae…Calypso [and reggae] performs a political and prophetic function and in so doing offers a subtle challenge to authority, just as Jesus challenged the political and religious leaders of his day. Over the years it has developed into an authentic Caribbean phenomenon and has gained the respect of all classes of people. With justification, we may speak of the liberating role of calypso and reggae.”
