On Nov.14th a national television program run a report about Don Walter, our hunt for his old tapes and his new album. In Cahuita they encountered a cheerful Calypso King, vividly remembering incidents around some of his old songs. 
And guess what, finally the famous rooster crowing in the background of his tape recordings gets full credit from the King! Scroll down for the whole show.
