Roy Cape is known to some as The Duke Ellington of Calypso Music, and to others as Calypso’s Cape Crusader. He is the Musical Director and Band Leader of the Roy Cape All Stars Band, the current top ranking music band, in the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago and the best Calypso Band in the world.

Since its inception almost two decades ago, Roy Cape All Stars continues to climb the ladder of success.

Titles are not easy to come by, but Cape’s struggle for excellence and professionalism has always been the unwritten creed of the band. His devotion to music is seen as a gift, a blessing he passes on to the group’s younger band members.

The sixteen member music band is famous for the exquisite quality of the phrasing, harmony and tonality of the five piece horn section, first and second trumpets; alto and tenor saxes and trombone.

This horn section, the meanest in the world has helped to earn the band the distinctive title ‘The Best Calypso Band in the World’.

For twenty odd years saxophonist Roy Cape and his dedicated band of musicians, set the standard for Calypso Music as the resident band at Calypso’s Spektakula Forum in his native Trinidad & Tobago.
