Union Summer: Kobo Town

Union Summer: Kobo Town

Join us for 63 days of live programming at our outdoor festival market!

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. Kobo Town returns with their dynamic and unique composite of infectious Caribbean sounds – where calypso melodies and ska-driven horn hooks collide over heavy reggae and soca bass grooves, all amid an interplay of dirty electric guitars with hints of zouk and son montuno.

This performance is presented in partnership with City Hall Live.
