One of Trinidad & Tobago’s most popular and celebrated musical acts,Kes(aka Kes the Band) hasconsistently blazed new trails for soca, the uptempo soundtrack of party life in today’s Caribbean.VocalistKees Dieffenthaller(also known individually asKes) leads the band, which also consists of hisbrothersJon(guitar) andHans Dieffenthaller(drums), and their lifelong friend, bassistRiad Boochoon.Since officially forming in 2005, Kes has brought soca to stages around the world, while collaboratingwith the likes ofSnoop Dogg,WizkidandMajor Lazer. In that time, they’ve given their genre some ofits most indelible anthems (“Wotless,” “Savannah Grass”) while also mastering the art of smoothed-out,island pop jams (“Hello,” “Jolene”).With the Carnival celebrations that are soca music’sraison d’etreon hold the last two years,Keshasfound new ways to spread Trinidad & Tobago’s good vibes to the world. In Summer 2020, the bandrecorded the “live-in-studio” albumWe Home, bottling the energy of their celebrated stageshow for homelistening.
