The music of the Caribbean is known for its clever lyricism, its soaring melodies, and its unfailing grooviness. Join Kobo Town founder Drew Gonsalves in this workshop to learn about the history of calypso, and learn and play some traditional calypso tunes. Singers and instrumentalists (of any level!) are welcome. With his trademark humour, wit and storytelling, Drew will introduce you to the rhythms, melodies, and lyrical forms of this captivating music.

Founded and fronted by émigré Trinidadian songwriter Drew Gonsalves, Kobo Town’s music has been variously described as “an intoxicating blend of lilting calypsonian wit, dancehall reggae and trombone-heavy brass” (Guardian) and a “unique, transnational composite of rhythm, poetry and activist journalism.”(Exclaim!) From their home in Toronto, the JUNO-nominated group has brought their distinct calypso-inspired sound to audiences across the world, from Port-of-Spain to Paris and from Montreal to Malaysia.

A Repair Café is a free community event where volunteers with repair expertise help people in the community repair their broken belongings.

Bring your broken items, or your repair expertise, to one of these events and work together to repair household electrical and mechanical devices, furniture, computers, bicycles, clothing, and many cherished antiques and keepsakes. The diverse list of items repaired is endless.
