The Venezuelan festival known in Spanish as Calypso de El Callao (calypso of El Callao) is held every year in Bolívar state, during carnival celebrations.
It is a fusion of Trinidad and Tobago calypso music, Caribbean traditions and Venezuelan folklore.

It is closely associated with the Carnival festival, a tradition also brought by the West Indian people.
Calypso or as the town's people call it "Calipso" is one of a popular cultural tradition.
