Byron Lee and the Dragonaires

Byron Lee and the Dragonaires is a band / group associated with Jamaica whose catalog here spans 1974–1974. The artist is connected with Calypso, so genre, period and individual recordings offer useful ways into the work.

Listen for how Calypso shape rhythm, voice and arrangement. A starting path includes “Vero”. Then move to “Carnival in Trinidad” to hear how recordings are organized in a release context.
