About Caribbean Christmas Party 
The Merrymen, originally hailing from Barbados, are one of the most popular calypso groups in the Caribbean. They first gained notoriety in the late 60's for their unique sound that they create by blending genres such as Caribbean, Folk, and Calypso. Their more notable hits include "The Big Bamboo," "You Sweeten Me," "Beautiful Barbados" and "Soul Calypso."

After many years of success with their traditional albums, The Merrymen released "Caribbean Christmas Party," which includes the Christmas classics "Silver Bells," "White Christmas," and "Little Drummer Boy." The collection also features several less conventional Holiday tunes including "Drink a Rum," "Happy Birthday Jesus," and Caribbean favorite, "Santa's Got a Sunburn."
