The story of calypso and the emergence of soca (the "Soul of Calypso") through the eyes of two legendary artists: Lord Kitchener, the Grandmaster of the genre, and Calypso Rose, the first woman to break through in a traditionally male arena. Forging onscreen connections between Afro-Caribbean communities and their U.S. diaspora, the documentary leads audiences from New York recording studies to the awesome magic of Carnival in Trinidad & Tobago. It features artists from across the 20th century whose songs reflect regional and global themes that continue to resonate today.
