« Kobo Town continue de redéfinir la musique Calypso et de repousser les limites du son caribéen » (McLeod Gazette, 2022). Kobo Town, c’est le quartier de Port-d’Espagne, la capitale de Trinité-et-Tobago, d’où a émergé le Calypso à la fin du 19e siècle, influencé par les rythmes africains et les musiques européennes. Profondément enracinée dans ce folklore carnavalesque traditionnel, la musique du groupe, fondé en 2005 et nominé aux Junos et aux Polaris, n’en est pas moins ultra moderne : sombre et joyeuse, poétique et dansante, avec des textes incisifs et des modulations Ska, Dancehall, Dub, Zouk et Hip-hop soutenues par des cuivres écrasants, comme en témoigne son dernier album Carnival of the Ghosts.  

“Kobo Town continues to redefine calypso, pushing the boundaries of the Caribbean music” (Macleod Gazette, 2022). Kobo Town takes its name from the historic neighborhood in Port-of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago’s capital, where calypso began to emerge in the 19th century as a blend of African rhythms with European influences. Deeply rooted in the carnivalesque folklore of traditional calypso, the music of this group, formed in 2005 and nominated for Junos and Polaris awards, is nonetheless ultramodern: dark and joyful, poetic and danceable, with incisive lyrics modulated by ska, dancehall, dub, zouk and hip-hop rhythms and backed by a powerful brass section, all of which can be heard on Kobo Town’s latest album, Carnival of the Ghosts.
