Music Dish, Organic Entertainment and Listen Liberally treated us all to yet another great night of music, food and drink at Club Midway (25 Ave B, NYC). Tonight’s feature was Kobo Town. They are a group named after an historic neighborhood in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad where traditional calypso music is said to have been born. Currently based in Toronto, Canada this group has tight ties to Trinidad.
Those ties can be felt in the heart of their music and the kindness of their personalities. The tiny basement of Club Midway was no longer in NYC but transported to a sunbathed island with hot sand and cold beer. You couldn’t help but move to the flowing harmonics and ebbing beats. Even those like me who are hopelessly deficient in the rhythm department. But the room of warm, fun-lovin’ smiles would outshine any inhibitions.
Once again the host Club Midway impressed me with their sound. For such a small space their soundman—whose name escapes me—did a remarkable job of keeping things sonically balanced. This was only my second time in the club but both times were equally pleasing to the ears. Anyone who’s been in small loud rooms in NYC knows how important that is. And of course the food was once again fantastic.
