Hamidullah brings a night of kaiso, humour, drama to Kafe Blue

Renowned calypsonian Hamidullah Wahid, known simply as Hamidullah, is set to headline the much-anticipated Moods & Views calypso concert at Kafe Blues on Wrightson Road, Port of Spain, on November 8 at 7 pm. The event will showcase a stellar lineup of artists, including Ras Kommanda, Valentino, King Luta, Sexy Suzy, Kid Kallaloo (Julien Hunte), Pharoah, and Skero. The performers will be backed by the Michelle Henry Encore Band, with Errol Fabien and Damion Melville serving as the evening’s MCs. Born into a family deeply rooted in calypso and steelpan traditions, Hamidullah’s musical journey began in the Amboys Steel Orchestra in Belmont. Over the years, he has become a prominent figure in the calypso scene, performing in numerous tents and co-founding the Klassic Russo tent in Port of Spain. A founding member of the Trinbago Unified Calypso Organisation (TUCO), Hamidullah is celebrated for his humorous hits like ‘One Stick of Matches’ and ‘You Can’t Land.’ His collaboration with Ras Kommanda through the Kaiso Unit has produced annual calypso concerts, offering a platform for artists to showcase their talent beyond the Carnival season. Hamidullah expressed his excitement for the upcoming show, highlighting the diverse talents of the performers and urging fans to join in the celebration of calypso music.
