Jamaican singer Joe White has had an unsung career, issuing several brilliant singles through the ska, rocksteady, and early reggae eras, including 1967's "Rudies All Around," 1968's "Every Night" (produced by Sonia Pottinger), and an amazing version of "My Guiding Star," produced by Charles Ross at Studio One. Somehow, though, White never garnered the mass attention he deserved. Early on he was a member of vocal group the Leaders with Ken Boothe, Roy Shirley, and Chuck Josephs, and several singles by the quartet were issued on Federal, but none generated much action.

Stanley was born February 17, 1942 in the parish of Portland. He was orphaned as a child and wound up living in Kingston. Taking a path that other Jamaican recording artists followed, he began singing in church, and then gained prominence by winning on the Vere Johns radio talent competition. Stanley recorded reggae as Stanley & The Turbines and in The Starlites. Although clearly reggae, his music had a tinge of mento, displaying a country sound, especially due to Stanley's mento style vocals. When the mento influence was stronger, his recordings could best be described as "mento-reggae".
Banda Calypso was assembled in Belém, the state capital of Pará in Brazil, in late 90s by the couple Chimbinha and Joelma. Restricted to Brazil's northern musical circuit in their early days, Calypso today enjoys great success countrywide. Well known for catchy and simplistic lyrics mixed up with highly danceable music, Calypso is the latest fever in Brazil, attracting hundreds of people to their shows, wherever they play (and also attracting the rage of more intellectualized music listeners, who refute their songs as annoying, repetitive, futile and empty).
