Allen takes local music to virgin soil
T&T’s calypso music is reverberating at mainstream music festivals across the United States and former National Calypso monarch, Kurt Allen is the cultural champion on the frontline of this effort. He has a lucrative six-month deal secured by his US booking agent called Simon Says to do 75 shows in that part of North America. Apart from festivals, Allen would also perform at signature nightclubs, colleges and other civic performances and would take part in meet and greet sessions with influential record label executives from Warner Bros and Electra Records.
