Review:
What an exuberant, vibrant and rewarding film about one of the most beloved and influential musical styles in the world today. Interspersed with interviews, archival footage and terrific live performances of its most legendary stars, Calypso Dreams brings the amazing history of this music and its culture to life, showing us the roots of modern day reggae, hip hop and rap.... Fantastic! — Bonnie Raitt
