UNDER THE SEA

Under the Sea. The Little Mermaid.

What´s down at the bottom of the sea?

Maybe not a frog or a fly, but lots of other stuff !

It´s a song from Disney´s 1989 animated film.

Let´s sing the lyrics.

Be part of the adventure to get to know what´s under the sea.

This pretty song is a good example of Calypso Music. Let´s watch the way they play the Caribbean steel drums.

Calypso Music is a style of Afro-Caribbean music that  was originated in Trinidad and Tobago during the early to mid-20th century.

Its rhythms can be traced back to west African Kaiso and the arrival of French planters and their slaves from the French Antilles in the 1700s.
