When I met Drupatee Ramgoonai and her husband, I had no idea what lay ahead for her and for the music she would boost into popularity beyond measure. They arrived quietly carrying hefty tassa drums, which I arranged carefully behind the singer to make photographs for her first album, featuring Mr Bissessar, which defined a new category of soca, one that Shorty had flirted with on his albums but which the Ramgoonais took firmly and authoritatively in a new direction. I confess to later being startled by the…um…vigorous performances that the quiet Mrs Ramgoonai put down on stage, but there was not question of her agency and determination in ignoring naysayers and bringing Indian music and influences more fully into focus in Carnival. This 1988 photo is for her second year sophomore album and it captures a woman considerably more assured and certain of her place in the world and she remains so today, even as younger, sometimes less classy performers follow her considerable lead on stage. #archive #lyndersaydigital #chutney #archivecarnival #trinidad #portrait #design #carnival #trinidadandtobago #filmphotography #drupatee #drupateeramgoonai #chutney #technology #queensparksavannah #chutneysoca #tassa #drupatee #trinidadcarnival #thelyndersayarchive (at Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago) https://www.instagram.com/p/BubCeVEAan6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j7032sl769yv
