The popular rise of Calypso music in the UK has its beginning in the late 1940’s. It continues to exist in contemporary Britain through the efforts of the Association of Calypsonians and Soca Artistes (ACASA), the organisation that emerged from the pioneering work of the Association of British Calypsonians (ABC) and Association of Calypsonians UK (ACUK) which has kept the
art alive for over 28 years since the formation in 1992.
