Information
What
kind of music?
We
specialize in (but not limited to) steel drum band, reggae, soca, calypso,
Jimmy Buffet, ska and latin music
What
kind of venue?
There's
really no event too large or too small. We are available for
concerts, tv, weddings,
private parties in Los Angeles, corporate events,
wedding and baby showers, birthday parties, beach parties,
restaurants, night
clubs, hotels, pool parties, cocktail receptions, reunions and
just about anything you might want.
What
is the band configuration?
The
choice is really up to you! Some of the options include:
1) steel drum band (instrumental only) (solo, duo, trio . . .
max 12-piece band)
2) steel drum band with vocals
3)
calypso, soca and/or reggae band (featuring the steel drums - with vocalist(s),
guitar, bass, drums, percussion, horns, etc.)
Our soloists and our duo's work with top quality backing tracks giving the live steel drums
a full and classy sound at an affordable price. This option
requires only a small space which makes this very desirable
format for restaurants, in-home parties, etc. With a minimal
amount of equipment this set-up is quick and clean. Also, volume
is much more controllable than larger bands but we are still
able to fill a larger room with sound if necessary. Our trio
gives a bit more punch and flexibility, still allowing for good
volume/space control and offers a moderate price. The four and
five-piece band (up to 22-piece band) offers all of the punch
and power of a very energetic live
Caribbean band in Southern California. We're
sure to get you up and dancing!!!
Who
are we?
The band is made up of
a collection of experienced and professional world-class musicians predominantly originating
from the Caribbean islands - Belize, Trinidad, Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Jamaica,
Barbados and America.
Authenticity and quality are never compromised regardless of the size of
band we bring. Having been in business since 1991 we have a long history
of happy clients - many are repeat clients (some for as long
as 18 years!). Our Musical Director is Clinton Crawford (aka: JR
Crawford) internationally respected as a leading Caribbean
arranger, producer and performer. His studio "Kleen Kut Studios"
has a long history of recording production for a wide variety of
artists, some of which come from as far as Trinidad.
