Black Power and unions grew in the 1970s, and rapso grew along with them . The first recording was Blow Away by Lancelot Layne in 1970 . Six years later, Cheryl Byron (founder of the New York City based Something Positive Dance Company) was scorned when she sang rapso at a calypso tent; she is now called the "Mother of Rapso". </P> <P> It has been described as "de power of de word in the riddim of de word". Though often described as a fusion of native soca and calypso with American hip hop, rapso is uniquely Trinidadian . </P>
