Kobo Town returns to stages across North America and Europe to tour their new album ‘Carnival of the Ghosts’, where the wit and wordplay that defined the group’s previous releases are on full display, accompanied by an everything-soup of infectious Caribbean sounds – with calypso melodies and ska-driven horn hooks colliding over heavy reggae and soca bass grooves, all amid an interplay of dirty electric guitars with hints of zouk and son montuno.

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.
