Bring your beach party to life the the smooth sounds of Trinidad and Tobago's Calypso music! No matter the event, if you're wanting to create a Caribbean, island, or beach vibe a Calypso Band is the way to go. With the conga, bongos, steelpan, and maracas creating the beats, you'll feel like you're groovin' in the sand in the tropics at a local tiki bar even if you're up in Minnesota, Kansas, or South Dakota. So grab the tiki torches, bust out the flip flops, and party it up island style with a Calypso Band.
Bring the sound of the islands to your event with live entertainment! Calypso Bands are one of the most sought-after types of bands to play live music at an event. Calypso is a style of Caribbean music which began in Trinidad at the start of the 20th century, and can be the perfect choice for an event where a Caribbean/Calypso atmosphere is needed, such as an outdoor festival, a street fair, corporate event, birthday party or beach party. Calypso became a worldwide craze with the "Banana Boat Song", a traditional Jamaican folk song, released by Harry Belafonte on his album Calypso. Hire a Calypso Band to bring a party atmosphere to any event, complete with dance beats and infectious rhythms! Start your search by selecting a city above.
Some things to consider when hiring a Calypso Band are to make sure you listen to audio and watch video clips. This will ensure that you truly do book the best for your next event! Next, you want to get references. Talk to people in the area about the band and get feedback. Finally, get a contract. Many professional calypso bands require a deposit to secure them at your next event. Make sure to read through the contract carefully before contracting the band for your party.
