Toronto-based Kobo Town continues to redefine calypso music and push boundaries of the Caribbean sound on new album, Carnival of the Ghosts. Trinidadian songwriter Drew Gonsalves's buoyant music stimulates both body and mind – catchy, propulsive grooves juxtaposed with incisive lyrics have inspired such fans as Calypso Rose and Carlos Santana, who've covered his tunes. Presented by BlueShore at CapU and Vancouver International Jazz Festival. FREE.
