Calypso

1)
Ich brauche MuseScore öfters um Singstimmen einzuüben.
Nun möchte ich ein Lied im Calypso Rhythmus erfassen/ausgeben (à la Harry Belfonte z.B. Island in the sun).
Leider weiss ich nicht wie man das anstellen muss und der "Standard" ist doch ziemlich Steiff.
2)
Ich möchte gerne etwas Spenden, am liebsten über die Bank, dazu bräuchte ich die IBAN Nummer etc.
Ich vermeide es Zahlungen in einer anderen Form über das Internet zu machen.

Herzlichen Dank

Harry Belafonte was not a Calypsonian.
He 'attempted' to sing calypso.
Go to You Tube and search for Francisco Slinger a.k.a. The Mighty Sparrow/King of Calypso.

Forgot to mention something.
Traditional calypso is on the decline nowadays.
T C had strong, sensible lyrics with a slow to medium tempo......occasionally fast.
Live musicians did the backup music.

It has been replaced by a genre that is called SOCA, a branch off from calypso.
Soca is about pace. The tempo is very fast...........breakneck speed.
Little or no consideration is given to lyrics or structure.
Music tracks are mostly used for accompaniment.
