Walter Ferguson

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 09:11:19 -0500

Costa Rican calypsonian Walter Ferguson is probably one of the last calypsonians in Central America who developed his art in verbal confrontations, duels of words and improvisations. He is not only a musician but also a great humorist, the greatest and more prolific calypsonian in Central America today. His songs honestly reflect the idiosyncrasy of the Afro Costa Rican community and a part of the country´s culture most ignored by institutions. Mr. Ferguson jokes about the calypsonian´s naïve spirit, often misunderstood and persecuted, taken advantage of by glamour girls who call him “sugar candy” or bullied by policemen, and portrays Afro Costa Rican life with simplicity and creativity.
