6. Calypso Quintet, “Night Food” (Boogu Yagga Gal)
This record features vocalist Alerth Bedasse and writer Everald Williams, who together collaborated on some of the music’s most memorable songs as the Chin’s Calypso Sextet. This particular song was extremely popular, in part because it was one of the first “slack” records ever released in Jamaica. In fact, this and other “rude” records caused a controversy in government in 1956 that almost saw slack tracks get banned!
