This following week, just about 1500 lucky patrons will experience the magic of Kes The Band live as they launch promotions for their all-new ‘IzWe’ event series comprising five nights of live, socially distanced concerts celebrating Soca, calypso music, and Trinbagonian culture.

Scheduled for during the traditional runup to Trinidad and Tobago’s Carnival, the ‘IzWe’ series will feature several surprise special guests each night and takes place from Tuesday, February 9th to Saturday, February 13th, 2021 at the spacious, open-air venue theatre dubbed ‘Sound Forge’ and located just off Mucurapo Road in Port-of-Spain. In strict compliance with The Ministry of Health’s COVID-19 Theatre Guidelines of 50% capacity, each night of KTB’s performance will be open to only 300 patrons.

The culminating performance on Saturday, February 13th will be aired live on CNC3 in Trinidad & Tobago and on affiliates across the Caribbean. Fans outside the region can livestream the concert at KES’ website, www.kestheband.com  by purchasing tickets for $10. The live stream is available at no cost within the Caribbean.

“IzWE is a presentation of WE culture in all its different aspects,” said Kees Dieffenthaller. “We’ll be celebrating the essence of who we all are as Caribbean people. It all began with drums and fire and, out of the revolution of our ancestors, Carnival which came to be the sweetest revolution. As such, we are celebrating our light in these dark times.”

Despite the pandemic, 2020 proved to be a landmark year for KES as the band recently celebrated the release of the live album, ‘We Home’, their first new full-length project in eight years. They also wrapped up a massively successful carnival campaign, taking home not only the annual International Soca Monarch title with “Stage Gone Bad” (a collaboration with Iwer George) but also capturing the Road March title with the same song.

On Tuesday, January 26th, KES released their first single of 2021, ‘Keep Jammin On’, a collaboration with world-renowned Trinidad and Tobago’s very own DJ/Producer, DJ Private Ryan
