The Toronto Star recently featured Drew as a new force in the revival of Calypso: "It's Wednesday night at the Trane Studio on Bathurst St., and the place is hopping – you have to squeeze your way to the bar. Onstage, a slim young man with a guitar has the crowd swaying to an irresistible calypso beat. Drew Gonsalves and his band Kobo Town may not think of themselves this way, but they're a musical bridge between two cultures, and a tenuous link to what may be a dying folk art."

"What Drew is doing is wonderful," noted Roger Gibbs, head of an association of calypso performers. "He's drawing on the traditional calypso vocabulary...giving it a fresh and authentic sound."

Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, Drew Gonsalves is a singer-songwriter whose music is rooted in traditional calypso, dub poetry and West Indian folk music. Founder and bandleader of celebrated roots calypso outfit Kobo Town, his songs receive regular airplay on the CBC and college radio stations across Canada. A multi instrumentalist who performs on the guitar, cuatro, tres, cavaquinho and bongo, Gonsalves' solo arrangements emphasize the humour, storytelling and lyricism that characterize Trinidad's pre-eminent musical art.
