Ag Chief Cultural officer calls for creative ways to make Calypso attractive to the youth

Ag Chief Cultural Officer Earlson Matthew says though Calypso has dominated Carnival for years, times are changing.

He noted that there has been a decline in the level of patronage.

There was once a time that no promoter would stage an event on the same night as the Calypso finals, because they would be setting themselves up for failure, but that is no longer the case.

He says if the art form is to be upheld, creative ways to make it appealing to the youth must be explored.
