Amoeba Music

One Hand Don't Clap captures the vibrant story of calypso and soca with the dynamic Grandmaster Lord Kitchener, who made the music a hit in London, and Calypso Rose, the first woman to shine in a male arena. Leading audiences from New York recording studios to the awesome magic of Carnival in Trinidad & Tobago, the film reflects the legacy of a vast West Indian population. The many generations in One Hand Don't Clap trace the evolution of a musical style whose infectious rhythms and exhilarating irreverence have found their way to ever-broadening audiences worldwide. Presented in a 4K restoration by the Academy Film Archive and the Women's Film Preservation Fund.
