The Saint Vincent Connection

View through CrossRef
The third chapter turns to Brooklyn’s emerging calypso/soca recording industry with the introduction of producers Granville Straker (Straker’s Records), Rawlston Charles (Charlie’s Records), and Michael Gould (B’s Records). Frankie’s initial foray into the soca world came in 1976 through his work with Vincentian calypsonian Alston “Becket” Cyrus. In the late 1970s Frankie became the musical director for Straker’s Records and the leader of the Equitables, Straker’s studio band with an international cast of players from Trinidad, St Vincent, Barbados, Puerto Rico, Panama, and the US. In New York’s advanced recording studios, he encountered the new multi-track recording systems and the latest synthesizer and drum machine technology that would become hallmarks of the emerging soca sound.
