Review by Murphy Siburian

Linstead Market Dry Weather by Lord Flee & Jamaican Calypsonians Hubert Porter & G Moxy Calypso Quintet is a classic album that showcases the best of Jamaican calypso music from the mid-20th century. The album features a range of traditional calypso songs that are imbued with the unique rhythms and melodies of Jamaica.

Lord Flee, Hubert Porter and the G Moxy Calypso Quintet deliver outstanding performances throughout the album, with their soulful vocals and energetic instrumentation. The songs are infused with a sense of humor and a strong social commentary, making them both entertaining and thought-provoking.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Linstead Market," a song that tells the story of a bustling market in Jamaica. Other standout tracks include "Dry Weather Houses," which laments the lack of rain in Jamaica, and "The Great Historical Calypso," a song that celebrates the history and culture of Jamaica.

About Lord Flee & Jamaican Calypsonians Hubert Porter & G Moxy Calypso Quintet

Most releases are credited as . Sometimes called the "Calypso King of Jamaica," Lord Flea was this island's first international music star. He primarily performed mento, a major form of popular music in Jamaica that was similar to calypso. During the 1950s, he was active in the nightclub scene and, while still a teenager, attracted much attention with his composition "The Naughty Little Flea." In 1954 Lord Flea and his band were such a sensation at the Glass Bucket nightclub in Kingston that they were recruited to play in Miami. In later years, Harry Belafonte recorded several of Flea's songs, as did Miriam Makeba and Toots and the Maytals, among others. Flea died tragically in Miami in 1959 at age 27.
