The Casplash Band a.k.a. Caribbean Splash

About

Casplash is a unique and eclectic band which has thrilled thousands of party revelers. We combine the beautiful sounds of the steelpan, soulful singing and hot tropical rhythms. Casplash is founded by Steelpanist Rudy Crichlow, a man whose roots are in Trinidad and Tobago. Throughout the years the members of Casplash have taken thousands of audience members on a fantastic musical escapade via live performances.

Casplash plays styles made for dancing ranging from Calypso, Soca, and Reggae to Pop, Funk, R&B and more. According to the type of performance you desire we can lead familiar dances such as the Electric Slide, Hokey Pokey, Conga Line, and Limbo. Additionally, we can teach a traditional West Indian follow-the-leader style dance called Brown Girl In the Ring. This dance is very popular among our audiences.
