Rarely does a musician leave a mark on world culture that lasts for generations. Irving Burgie's songs not only hanged the culture of the world but changed the way people taught their children about music. Songs such as "Day-0", "Jamaica Farewell", "Island in the Sun", "Yellow Bird", and "Angelina" opened the world to Calypso music and became a musical vernacular that has passed through the generations.
Newly recorded or remastered, THE FATHER OF MODERN CALYPSO is Irving's first full record, including beloved classics and the recent compositions "I'm A Candy" and "Love Will Come By", written for an upcoming theatrical production about Irving's life. Join one of the greatest composers of Caribbean music as he takes you on a festive, musical journey to the islands!
