DESCRIPTION:
Casplash is a unique and eclectic band which has thrilled thousands of party revelers. We combine the beautiful sounds of the steelpan, soulful singing and hot tropical rhythms. Casplash is founded by Steelpanist Rudy Crichlow, a man whose roots are in Trinidad and Tobago. Throughout the years the members of Casplash have taken thousands of audience members on a fantastic musical escapade via live performances.

Casplash plays styles made for dancing ranging from Calypso, Soca, and Reggae to Pop, Funk, R&B and more. According to the type of performance you desire we can lead familiar dances such as the Electric Slide, Hokey Pokey, Conga Line, and Limbo. Additionally, we can teach a traditional West Indian follow-the-leader style dance called Brown Girl In the Ring. This dance is very popular among our audiences.

    They were fantastic! They really made the cocktail hour enjoyable. I will be recommending them to anyone I know who's getting married. Thanks Rudy for a great job!! Diana & Vinny

    The guys were great. They gave us exactly what we were looking for within our budget and many of the guests commented on how much fun it was to have them there. The event they played for us was a cake and coffee reception on church grounds (as opposed to a full-blown rock and roll party with dancing sort of thing) and they fit the atmosphere perfectly. They were on-time and ready to go when the bride and groom entered, which was especially great as I wasn't available to meet them before the ceremony and was just trusting that that they'd be there - and they were! I also appreciated their foresight in asking what we wanted them to wear and other such details as it really showed me that they were focused on meeting the desires of the bride and groom, whatever they might be. Rudy and his partner were personable, professional, and very talented. I'd recommend them in an instant.

    Rudy was so great-- From the beginning of talking to him on the phone, working with my brother (cellist) and on the day. He added an incredibly special touch to our wedding that all of our guests have been commmenting on. Very special. Very good. -the bride

    I would like to take this moment to express my appreciation to Casplash for coming out and performing for us. The students and staff all had a good time. They were extremely happy with the performance. This was the first experience that lots of them had with the steel pan .The celebration and party continued after they left. They definitely set the mood for lots of soca music,which thankfully, I had.

    Casplash was fantastic - I could not recommend them enough! They played at our wedding in Connecticut this past October and we were thrilled with their performance. They were extremely professional from day one. Before we hired them, they arranged a performance in New York so that we could hear them live. They sent us a CD, DVD, and brochure. They learned new songs just for our wedding - a special touch that allowed us to incorporate our own style into the music. On our wedding day, despite torrential rain, they arrived early from New York to set up. They performed during our ceremony, throughout cocktail hour, and throughout the reception. They were extremely interactive with the crowd and knew just what to play to keep everyone dancing. Their performance was AMAZING! And when they were not performing, they acted as DJs and played some fantastic music between sets. And their rendition of our wedding song, Norah Jone's "Come Away With Me," was truly breathtaking. Casplash was by far one of the best aspects of our wedding day - all of the guests were raving about them the next day!

    Collectively, we were extremely pleased with Caribbean Splash. The word to describe their perfomance would be "superb". They sounded great and the music was appropriate and timely. The band was courteous, accommodating and kept the dance area packed. They blended right in with our environment and became part of this huge family gathering. My husband and I were especially pleased with their exit. They performed three last songs which went over teir time and were not at all rushed about it. This made us feel that they were not just there to perform, but were aimed to please. We highly recommend this band to others and plan to use them in furture. Thanks again.

    Rudy and Glen were a complete pleasure to have at our party. They were professional, cheerful and did a spectacular job to make my husband's birthday celebration a special one. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for that special sound of the islands. Many guests were asking where I found them and requesting business cards. Thank you to Gigmasters for making it so easy to find such wonderfully talented people! K. Orbe
