As the Carnival 2026 season heats up and the year’s new soca tunes hit the airwaves, the Bocas Lit Fest will launch a new series of “Kaiso Conversations” focused on the art of calypso songwriting, with a special event featuring musical icon David Rudder.
On Tuesday, January 20, Rudder will join music critic and writer Nigel A Campbell on stage at the popular Kafe Blue venue on Wrightson Road, Port-of-Spain, for a conversation focused on calypso lyrics, creative traditions and influences, and the literary aspects of the calypsonian’s art.
The event doubles as a special fundraiser for the Bocas Lit Fest, whose year-round work promotes and develops writers and readers of all ages and genres across T&T and the wider Caribbean.
