The RWMF 2015 is coming soon, this award winning festival takes place from the 7th to the 9th of August 2015. If you're looking for a difference in this
years’ Rainforest World Music Festival, then you're in for a treat as you will be able to dance to the tune of the Caribbean Calypso
music which will be staged at the Rainforest World Music Festival on August 7-9
at the Sarawak Cultural Village.
Kobo Town from the Republic of Trinidad
and Tobago will be featuring the Calypso music, a trademark of a cheerful and
relaxing musical composition on the laid back Caribbean setting.
Drew Gonsalves, the founder of the group
Kobo Town, traces its origin from the easy-going historic neighbourhood city in
Port-of-Spain thought to be the origin of Calypso music.
The artist grew up in Diego Martin where
he was surrounded by Calypso music from an early age and he moved to Canada but
returning back at the age of 18 when he started writing his own songs.
The band’s debut album ‘Independence’
was released in 2007 and was nominated for several awards including the Indie
Award. Drew describes the band’s music style as
a mixture between the traditional Calypso, big bands’ style and jazz music,
expressing musical theme of present events in its lyrics.
Their new album ‘Jumbie in the
Jukebox’ contribute to the musical heritage of the Carribean that tries to give
the people of the present generation a voice to speak up and express themselves
in this special music. Gonslaves in describing his music style
said, “We made a conscious effort, but one that was quite natural in its own
way, to make the music different, a bit more intense” Admitting that the album is a small, heartfelt tribute to the spirits – both
remembered and forgotten – who have gone before us, the songs and sounds, he said had never lost
their power to enchant.
