calypso calypso was created right and in trinidad we have soca music and we're not taught these things in school we're not we're not taught our culture enough and i wanted people to know i think that there's not a lot of young people in so community sick i saw young people don't. connect as much will i i thought so because when i was younger i didn't connect as much because there wasn't anybody my age doing it and doing it big and well saw i felt like how the younger ones going to know all about the history of what we have so i thought it was so important for them to know their culture know their history and know like you know what i mean so that's why i felt the need to show them what exactly sorcha meant because people here so community and it's like all of us party does have a good time but it's more the more it which is why you put your granddad on the top of one of your yeah yeah i can tell it's an old v.h.s. tape or a little tape yeah let's have a listen to what will shorty how you describe so comedic. so it is a combination of east indian and african rhythm that put us in in the seventy's i modified because i would anywhere on sixty nine to seventy with the pull of us was to bring the east indian and the africans internet together so there was a combination of it to mean rhythm ixtoc as internet data to to create a song that would would be totally trinidad and then just call it a sort of speed. so that was low shortie really could he have it's because of lord shore leave his relation to you of course is your grandfather that we got to expect this from alan carr who says she is so royalty she should be regarded her family like the marlies in jamaica are recognized for their national cultural contribution but he goes on to say something that you mentioned earlier about being a young voice he says i love so black man is a critical voice of a cast of young voices who now traditional clips of expressions and current global music trends with a global caribbean acetic further as a female she's in a lane of her own. so it's a weighty thing but do you see yourself as that young boys who is mixing those two things where no one else's i definitely think so because i think that the problem with the youth it's a problem but it's actually not a problem at the same time is that we are looking for examples and the examples that we have. it's not necessarily we don't know how to recreate it we don't know how to make a brand new again we don't know how to make it trendy like what is happening now and it's like we hear the same thing over and over i was just tired of that i love so community and i'm just like why can't i hear something different why why does it sound like the same all song again you know still i felt the need to do that and i think that now that's inspiring more young people to have their voice and understand that my voice doesn't need to be just like the voices before it can be completely different i can still get true as we see it a true. that is the perfect transition for us because you say you are not the same old sound my love is going to play a song for us that really brought you into the spotlight it's a twenty seventeen collaboration with musician casts called put out while my love appears for her acoustic version of the hit have a listen to this video comment from richard ram sunder was a sober analyst and a blogger. and diversity within the music and the way it's been embraced across the islands and the world i'm always amazed to see how different islands and different types of people from all over the world create their own type of sound what soca music for example here in st lucia could do or daenerys segments and diana they have their own type of same thing in barbados they have music just for crop has music just for spice among us and st vincent they have their own unique sound for vincent mouse and although in japan japanese so guarded make their own so good music with japanese lyrics for their carnival as well so it's incredible to see the amount of diversity that comes from music. still mad dudgeon i lose. my job and make a speech to maddie to. give you a new life. all of which denied them got muddled up you told me. to send me. a life. or love you give him a bridge stuck on. the ride wrong wrong wrong. and goldwyn. wrong. a little. bit. even if. you need to. see a. change in maddie. to just. use. oh. little. done wrong. and you know we. multiply by a thousand clapping you know what is there right now by the way and that is night of black people online know a lot of you tube and tweets coming in so i'm all cars says milo black when it will be remembered for having a good tar singing live performing in local cafes and bars to create room to define her voice presence and individuality no cakewalk she earned her keep enough respect someone else watching live on youtube writes in a question for you because she feel that women and so if a certain obstacles that her male counterparts don't. technically think so. so is a meal dominated industry i'm actually the first woman in. i could say that a decade tenure is to break true for the insecure and it's because it's so hard the things that women have to go through because all culture where come of all this comes and. music in general it's very over sexualized. and women feel the pressure to have to do that to get somewhere and it's not fair and a lot of a lot of men take advantage of lads and a lot of women are not strong enough to deal with that and some are we definitely have a means and women doing it right now. but it's very unfortunate that we would have to go through something like that but a lot of groups have to do with just fight to play their music more to do things and in exchange to get publicity and it's not fair but it's how women are treated in this industry one of the women who is out there doing it is your mom your entire family and. you kind of. how do you resist it i only show a little bit of black men this is nihilism mom. what. would. you. do with so-called stroll in there oh my goodness what a powerful role model to your mommy's doing that but in the way that you put your music videos together you the lyrics are very powerful but also the visuals are very powerful. i'm trying to think of how i say you are smart hot and sexy but you . don't play me about the way women are seen in so here but you are also incredibly sensuous in the way that you present yourself is that not a is that an irony in not or what are you trying to do the thing about it is that i am not sure that we as i've always been but a lot of woman on not and they feel the need to be that way this gives you an idea of what your usual videos yet like and the only thing in here or lotto it's an expression that we see in the caribbean it's like call us like oh my love you know it's just us like a sigh of relief you know i mean all our voyage. so question here keeping that in mind this is from sucky i was really excited we're doing the show here says what does she have to say to the critics who disapprove of her style in soap music. what do i have to see it to the critics that disapprove of my cell and so community. where you know i really don't pay attention to the negativity because there's so much positivity coming at me i mean i'm here today. so i don't peer tensions are but i think that a lot of people are not comfortable it makes some very uncomfortable change they're not comfortable with change because it's not traditional and it's not the way it's been done before they feel uncomfortable and it makes them you know we would see things so wanted to be the same we are and this is this is the sort of fight that my grandfather got when he had created sort of music because what was known or was done was collapse or and that was social commentary and it was it was a lot slower and it wasn't it wasn't like socal saw calypso was very different and people shunned him for trying to change it and he got a lot of bashed for it but then how much of a years later it's like the biggest thing i ever saw i watch that and i watch a lot of people that go through similar situations in the world and i see that. if you would have no hitters popping. up. and now it's. one of the things about where you come from trinidad and tobago is that we see it as like here it's beautiful it's stunning people enjoy carnival but when you take the music form a soca and you talk about some very serious issues and that is a challenge for a lot of because it's so happy the music sallies and you want to dance to it and then you hit them with big boned black grow. so only yourself of your own and own your blackness and how do you make that work for people how does that resonate with people i think it's really. well because not just in the cabin i mean all over the world i feel like our system is a problem and. our. discrimination in genera

calypso," david sedaris? >> no. >> stephen: okay, what is in "calypso"? it's your tenth book. what can we expect? >> the title story, i was lying in bed one morning, i was in france and i found a lump at the base of my ribcage. i went to a doctor, and it was a tumor, it was just a fatty tumor, a lipoma. >> stephen: benign. >> yeah, the doctor said dogs get 'em all the time. ( laughter ) and that's supposed to make you feel better. >> yeah. i said, can i have it cut out? he said, you could. he made me sound vain, so i just pulled my bathing suit up higher. but i started thinking, if you had your tonsils out, your cat would want to eat them. if you threw them to the dog, he would snap them out of the air and be like, were those tonsils? ( laughter ) but a cat would be happy to eat your tonsils. >> stephen: sure. they wouldn't know and you can't judge them. >> no, no. so we got a house in north carolina on the canal and it was filled with snapping turtles. i thought, i bet a turtle would want to eat my tumor. i went to a surgeon on the coast and he said he would cut it out and i said, great, because i want to feed it to a snapping turtle. ( laughter ) and he said-- ( laughter ) >> stephen: and he said? >> he said it's against the law for me to give you anything i remove from your body. but they give women babies, right? ( laughter ) how is that fair? so i went on stage. i was in el paso. i told that story on stage. and this woman came up and said, i'll cut it out of you. and i said, well, i have a book signing out of the show. she said, i'm a night owl. and so she-- ( laughter ) >> stephen: was she a doctor? >> she said, look, i'm a doctor. i'm not a surgeon, but i took a few classes. ( laughter ) and she said, if i open you up and it's above my pay grade, we'll figure something out. i said, okay. so she cut the tumor out of me. >> stephen: how?! >> with a knife. >> stephen: i know, but were you under? >> no, i was wide awake. >> stephen: a local anesthetic? >> yeah. i said, "are my intestines hanging out?" she said, "no, it's just a little pocket, a little pouch." >> stephen: no details, please. ( laughter ) >> so she shipped them on ice to my sister, lisa, in north carolina. lisa brought them to the beach, i fed them to a snapping turtle and he was happy to have my tumor. >> stephen: that's the title story? >> yeah. ( laughter and applause ) >> stephen: all that and more in "calypsovid sedaris, everybody! ( cheers and applause ) we'll be right back with comedian ahmed bharoocha!
