July 29—Caribbean-Calypso music by Upstream. Founded in 1989 in Trinidad and Tobago to bring Soca music to America and to keep the sound alive that was invented by Ras Shorty I (Garflield Blackman). Upstream is headed by Blackman’s two sons Haile on vocals, guitar and drums, and Johnny also on drums. Soca music is a combination of soul and calypso. The group also performs Reggae.
