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.
