Calypso developed into its modern form in Trinidad around the turn of the twentieth century as a primarily English-language topical song associated with pre-Lenten Carnival. By the 1920s, Calypsonians, as the singers and composers were called, performed in "tents" (yards covered by a tarp, union halls, and such) for the people of Trinidad and for tourists. As early as the 1930s, the genre was gaining a following outside of its homeland; for example, the British writer
Aldous Huxley
visited a tent in 1933 and wrote with admiration about calypso singing: "
The Calypsonians of Trinidad live in another 'Zeit'; so the 'Geist' they obey is not the same as ours. In that, it may be, they are fortunate.
