SHAK-SHAK is a Calypso and Caribbean Acoustic band whose music pays tribute to classic Calypso repertoire through the years. Led by Barbadian-born Roger Gibbs and multi-talented musician and ethnomusicologist Chris Wilson, SHAK-SHAK was recently formed to give Torontonians a genuine taste of the seductive rhythms and melodies that made Calypso a worldwide craze.
With classic Calypso songs by Mighty Sparrow, Lord Kitchener, Terror and others Trinidad greats, to Barbados’ Merrymen and Guyana’s Tradewinds, SHAK-SHAK adds music from Jamaica – ska, rock steady and reggae by Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley, Ken Lazarus and Johhny Nash. While SHAK-SHAK brings back Caribbean folk songs and gives them a new twist, the group also features its own original Calypso and Caribbean Acoustic material to add a fresh touch to the mix.
For booking call (416) 484-6914 or (416) 948-3847.
