"FDR in Trinidad" (also known as "Roosevelt in Trinidad") is a calypso song written by Fritz McLean[1] and popularized by Atilla the Hun (Raymond Quevedo) to commemorate U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's 1936 trip to Trinidad.[2] As part of Attila and his band's repertoire in New York City during the 1930s and 1940s, it brought increased popularity to the genre.[3] Roosevelt had become a calypso fan in 1934 following the band's performances in New York City during 1934.[4]
The song was covered by Ry Cooder in his 1971 album Into the Purple Valley, by Van Dyke Parks in his 1972 album Discover America,[5][6] and performed in local skits.[3]
