Calypso music from Denmark

In the 1960's my folks had some neat music. There is a duo in particular that I remember fondly. Nina and Frederik were born in Denmark, married, and created "beautiful music together". Details appear that they had a somewhat tumultuous life, but for me the music takes me back to simple times. The caribbean influence is stark contrast to Denmark, but the harmonies are amazing. Find Mango Vendor, Jamaica Farewell, Little Donkey, amoung others and you'll be whisked away to a magical place with a small umbrella in your drink and a cool breeze.
