Scope and content
This series documents a proposed research project on calypso music conducted by Stephen Stuempfle, then Director of the Historical Museum of Southern Florida (now HistoryMiami Museum). The project, based on years of research by Stuempfle, was intended to offer the first holistic view of calypso’s international history through an online exhibition, a traveling museum exhibition, and public conferences. Highlights include rare musical recordings, as well as interviews and consultation meeting with calypso icon Ray Funk. Materials include: research documents and grant proposal to the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH); audiocassette tape recordings of commercial and broadcast musical performances (several contributed by Kenneth Bilby) and documentary features; audio compact discs (CDs) of musical performances and interviews; and videocassette tape recordings of musical performances, interviews, and television broadcasts.
