CHALKDUST: SOME CALYPSO LACKING ART& FORM

Accented meter and rhyme - just two of the key elements of true calypso. So says nine-time Calypso Monarch, Dr. Hollis Liverpool, better known as Chalkdust, who is urging calypsonians and judges to get formal training, and bring back the art and the form to the artform. He also commented on the video which has now gone viral, and while he's not taking back the comments, he says he never knew he was being recorded. Rynessa Cutting sat down with Chalkie for this report.
