This Caribbean Band also stays current and includes in their musical repertoire more contemporary songs by the likes of Trinidad calypsonian Lord Kitchener, as well as Reggae standards from the likes of Bob Marley.
In addition to the danceable Caribbean styles, this Seattle Caribbean Band also plays many relaxed Latin jazz and pop tunes, a necessary element for background music jobs like poolside parties, cocktail receptions, and dinners. This Caribbean Band even include several seasonal favorites in their repertoire, making them perfect for private or corporate holiday parties.

Together, the members of this Seattle Caribbean Band have played many hundreds of gigs, everything from wedding receptions and backyard barbecues to boat cruises and New Year's Eve in Hong Kong.
