Biography of Black Stalin

I saw this event being advertised and I was keen on attending, as I grew up listening to all the Veteran Calypsonians because of my parents. As young as I was my parents used to drag us to some calypso tents, and from since then I grew to love an appreciate the art form that is old time calypso and respect the Calypsonians such as Black Stalin. So if you looking for me on Saturday the 3rd I will definitely be taking in the Biography of Black Stalin.

‘COME WITH IT, BLACK MAN’

The Tabernacle Notting Hill in London, United Kingdom

CFC'S Saturday Soup screenings return with a MUST SEE film for EVERYONE interested in the musical arts from the Caribbean!

'Come With It, Black Man: A Biography of Black Stalin's Consciousness' is a sixty minute documentary on the work of legendary Trinidadian calypsonian Dr. Leroy Calliste - Black Stalin.

The film asks: Why is it important to know Black Stalin's music? The narrative highlights the singer's ideology, merit as a five time Calypso Monarch, Honorary Doctorate recipient and prodigious cultural hero of Trinidad and Tobago. Interviews with the likes of Kees Dieffenthaller, David Rudder, Dr Roy Cape, Denyse Plummer, JW and Blaze, Nadia Batson and the late Dr Patricia Bishop, are sandwiched between some of Stalin's most memorable and masterful performances.

'Come With It, Black Man' is informative and engaging in its approach, to re-discovering the Conscious Calypso that Black Stalin is celebrated for. The film promotes the role and relevance of Calypso and the universal, enduring messages of Black Stalin to young generations, the Diaspora and wider international audiences.

This is a story that matters.

Twenty miles of vibrant colorful costumes surround over 40 static sound systems, hundreds of Caribbean food stalls,over 40,000 volunteers and over 1 million Notting Hill carnival revellers.

The Notting Hill Carnival usually gets under way on the Saturday with the steel band competition. Sunday is Kids’ Day. On the Bank Holiday Monday, the main parade takes place. It generally begins on Great Western Road, then winds its way along Chepstow Road, on to Westbourne Grove, and then Ladbroke Grove. In the evening, the floats leave the streets in procession, and people carry continue partying at the many Notting Hill Carnival after parties.
