Swanky Kitchen Band (behind the scenes rehearsal)

By Richard Bangs | Published on Nov/18/2014

Swanky Kitchen Band (behind the scenes rehearsal)

Where is the best music in the Caribbean? The Swanky Kitchen Bang performs music that softens rock, and could bend the ironwood tree. Electric violinist Samuel Rose, the leader, explains that "swanky" is a Cayman word for lemonade (made with brown cane sugar), and that Cayman kitchen music represents the melting pot that is Cayman, tracing influences back to Irish fiddling and jig traditions, mixed with African slave rhythms. Then it blends in ostinatos of calypso, reggae and jazz.
