UPC 8435307615282
Calypso Is Like So... is a fascinating album by actor Robert Mitchum, released in 1957 during the height of the calypso music craze. Known primarily as a Hollywood star famous for his roles in classic films like The Night of the Hunter and Cape Fear, Mitchum surprised audiences by recording an album that delves into the Caribbean genre of calypso, blending his charismatic, laid-back vocal style with tropical rhythms and themes. The album combines original calypso-inspired tracks with traditional songs, bringing Mitchum’s unique interpretation to a genre that was gaining popularity in the U.S. at the time.
During the mid-1950s, calypso music, originating from Trinidad and Tobago, became a cultural phenomenon in America, with artists like Harry Belafonte achieving mainstream success. Mitchum, with his adventurous spirit and fascination with Caribbean culture, became captivated by the genre while filming Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison on location in Trinidad. Calypso Is Like So... reflects Mitchum's genuine affection for the music and attempts to capture the island vibes with humor, personality, and the charm he brought to his film roles.
