Ewabo (Caribbean trio) Monday, February, 6, 2012
Ewabo, a Caribbean trio, performs at 11 a.m. in Allen Dining Hall. With an emphasis on the steel drum, better known as pan to the people of its native Trinidad and Tobago, Ewabo is recognized as one of the preeminent Caribbean calypso bands in the mid-Atlantic region. Ewabo’s skill and dedication to indigenous island music and the playing of pan drums – the predominant art form in the Caribbean – has propelled the trio to prominence in the mainstream of contemporary world music. The musicians of Ewabo entertain as well as educate audiences about Caribbean culture. The shared belief of band members Frank Javois (keyboards), Roger Greenidge (pan drums) and Tim Hamm (vocals/congas) is “one love,' which is embodied in their vast array of exceptional musical arrangements of traditional and contemporary calypso, reggae and pan drum music.
