Alexander D Great - the reigning UK Calypso Monarch and WOM@TT Best of British Award 2010 winner brings you a brilliant steer on topical matters, great musicianship,'overproof' lyrics and irresistible dance tracks.

This is a world class event! Not only does Alexander D Great write his own on point lyrics and music he also composes for many others and several of the recent calypso monarchs have won with Alexander D Great songs.

Kiki B is a Junior monarch - just 14 and the Soca Divettes are back by poplular demand alongside Vee Vee and G Sring who give you a flava of what carnival and calypso are like when it gets really hot!

AdG has several excellent CDs out - the most recent being The Finest Cut with both humourous and ascerbic tracks that are topical for now as well as when it was recorded a couple of years back. Lash Dem Lara is perhaps one of ADG's finest tracks as well as his winning 2010 calypso 'Haiti' .

Alexander D Great is renowned worldwide and also is Calypsonian in Residence on several BBC stations - called at the drop of a hat to extemporise on the daily headlines.

WOM@TT champions UK based African, Caribbean & Latin artists in excellent venues with high production values and strong pr. Education experiences and training opportunities are also planned

Many other European based Ghanaian music groups and artists in the names of the late Jon K, Ben Brako, A.B. Crentsil, Bessa Simons, Alf Kari Bannerman, Pauline Oduro, Bucky Leo, Lee Duodoo, have all worked with Paapa Jeh. Realising his potential as a singer/songwriter and performer, Paapa Jeh embarked on a solo career and through a number of explosive live performances, clinched various English national TV appearances like ‘THE TUBE’ on BBC 2 with his band – NIGHT SHIFT, and a follow up on Channel 4’s ‘CLUB MIX’ as PAAPA J’s NEW BAG.

He's also toured in India with Indian artists and created fusion recordings to great acclaim and played with many top Reggae bands as well.

Tonight he leads the unmatched KA-BOOM in an explosive night of highlife and soul scorchers. Dancing is the key!
