Aldwyn Roberts, known professionally as Lord Kitchener, was a Trinidadian calypsonian whose career spanned over five decades. Born in Arima in 1922, he became a pivotal figure in calypso music, renowned for his witty lyrics and infectious melodies. In 1948, he arrived in the UK aboard the Empire Windrush, famously performing "London Is the Place for Me" upon disembarkation. Kitchener's influence was profound, winning the Trinidad Carnival Road March title ten times between 1963 and 1976. His compositions, such as "Sugar Bum Bum," remain classics, reflecting his enduring legacy in Caribbean music.
