Special Program 2: Calypso Mix for Radio CPR Holiday Mix Exchange [12.22.11]
This mix isn’t lyrically Christmas themed. Such a compilation might take a few years of exhaustive research. I tacked some Christmasy stuff on at the end, just to get in the spirit. There’s also a song about a guy pulling out his sausage at a Christmas party.
I believe a non-affiliated CPR friend got my mix. I was lucky to pull DJ Wanako’s. I’m excited to hear it!

This article about pubes in The Atlantic had me thinking about that classic Trini chune “Mango Vert.”
