A War verse by Growling Tiger: When I was a child at the age of fiveAnd my dear old grandfather was aliveHe would sit me upon his kneeAnd say "boy listen to me"He said "boy I will tell you your birth" [i.e. fortune]"and it is to rule over men on this earth".So I'm sorry for the molesters who mess with this Tiger Santimantay A War verse by Mighty Terror: If you want to see what I say is trueJust call a Jamaican singer to youAnd ask him to sing extemporaneouslyYou will see he hasn't this abilityBut if you call me or Lord KitchenerWe will sing from January to DecemberWhy? For we are born Trinidadians and true calypsoniansHere in Great Britain (en)
  • カリプソ・ウォー(calypso war)、またはエクステンポ・ウォー(extempo war)とは、カリプソニアン達がステージ上で、即興の唄や語りをリズムに乗せていくエクステンポ(extempo)の技術を用いて、お互いを言葉で攻撃するショー形式のこと。トリニダード・トバゴの音楽、カリプソの特徴のひとつ。 カリプソニアンのエクステンポの能力は、年に一度のトリニダード・カーニバルで行われる公式なエクステンポの競技会、「ナショナル・エクステンポ・モナーク」のタイトルで腕が示さる。この競技会で勝ち抜くために、カリプソニアン達はカリプソ・ウォーで競争相手をお互いに攻撃して、エクステンポの技術を上げるために練習する。そのため、カリプソ・ウォーは、競技会で勝つために不可欠なものではないが、観客はこのショーを娯楽として楽しむ。 (ja)
