The Geoffrey Dunn Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour.

Are you here? Here’s to you, for being here, listening to The Paul Leslie Hour.

We’re going to keep that whole calypso thing going. We’ve got a very interesting interview from the archives with Geoffrey Dunn. This originally broadcast on radio in 2009.

Dr. Geoffrey Dunn is producer and director of the documentary film Calypso Dreams. Do yourself a favor—consider watching that one. Calypso Dreams features interviews and musical performances and was filmed in Trinidad. The film features interviews and archival footage of the greatest Calypsonians of all times, and seeks to answer the question “what is Calypso?” It also seeks to ask “what is going to happen to it?”

We’ve got so many interviews that we want to restore and get out into the world. It’s very labor-intensive and there are expenses. You can support independent media and the spoken word by going right here, and we thank you! Every bit helps.

And now we invite you to join us as Dr. Geoffrey Dunn speaks about a uniquely Afro-Caribbean music which may or may not survive the passing of time. We certainly hope it will. Let’s listen. Together.
