Named after the storied district in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, where calypso was born, Kobo Town has been described
as “an intoxicating blend of lilting calypsonian wit, dancehall reggae and trombone-heavy brass” (Guardian) and a
“unique, transnational composite of rhythm, poetry and activist journalism.”(Exclaim!) Since their founding in
2005, the group has brought their distinct calypso and ska-inspired sound to audiences across the world.
