Lord Invader was one of the most popular Trinidadian Calypso singers to bring the music form to the states. He did so to collect royalties on a song he wrote (Rum and Cola) that was appropriated by a folk group in the fifties. After a very lengthy trial (several years) Lord Invader conquered New York legally, but he vanquished it with his scorching tunes years earlier. Ink and acrylic on found wood.
