Kobo Town is an eight piece Toronto-based group formed in order to help
revive interest in the art of traditional calypso (kaiso), and to
demonstrate its contemporary relevance by engaging the crucial issues
of our time. Kobo Town 's music reflects today's Caribbean-Canadian
diaspora, melding traditional Trinidadian music and new sounds
encountered in Canada , including funk, jazz, Haitian kompa, Cuban
descarga, and Congolese soukous. As a global capital of dub poetry,
Toronto is the perfect setting for a band that owes a heavy debt to
Canada's dub poets, particularly Clifton Joseph and Anthony Bansfield.
