A few days ago, we met with Trinidadian poet and writer Anthony Joseph in a coffee shop in Brixton. It was a pleasure to listen to Anthony’s stories of growing up in Trinidad, the music of calypso and soca, and what the Windrush generation means to London’s identity.
Anthony also talks us through a track from his latest album People of the Sun, talks of his book tours and speaks about his upcoming Windrush celebration gala at the Barbican Centre on Saturday 17th November part of the EFG London Jazz Festival 2018.
Tracks played:
- Anthony Joseph – Milligan The Ocean [from People of the Sun; Heavenly Sweetness]
- The Mighty Sparrow – Jean & Dinah [from Sparrow’s Dance Party; BLS Records]
