KALBASS KREYOL, led by Haitian-born frontman Sophis, is a high-energy Afro-Caribbean band that is best known in the Bay Area for its electrifying and uplifting live performances.

The band emerged from the open-mic scene in Alameda, California. In April of 2005 Sophis and his Haitian friend guitarist, Mr. G, founded Kalbass Kreyol. At the center of their sound are elements of Haitian Kompa and Rara which are mélanged with particles of Merengue, Reggae, Salsa, Zouk, Rock and Funk to create an unusual rhythmic formula that keeps their audience glued to the dance floor.
