Leading vocalist Krisson Joseph will present “In Defense of Carnival: Revel in the Ritual”, a calypso extravaganza, in partnership with the Little Carib Theatre this Saturday, January 28.
Joseph is no stranger to the music scene; he is an accomplished vocalist, and is the son of the late, great calypsonian Sedley “Penguin” Joseph. In Defense of Carnival: Revel in Ritual is a celebration through calypso of the Power of the Carnival ritual and its potential to transform our communities if properly understood. “By meditating on, and singing along to the musical philosophies of our calypsonians as they express the power of our Carnival rituals in rhythm and rhyme, this Kaiso show will play a role in reminding us all of our own inherent power,” said Joseph. He will be accompanied by top musicians, including Theron Shaw on guitar and Anthony Woodroffe on saxophone.
