CALYPSO TIME WITH SEBASTIAN!

WHAT IS CALYPSO?

Sebastian is a Caribbean Crab who loves making music! Like all musicians and composers, he’s inspired by the sounds from his every day life. Since crabs live on land and in the sea, Sebastian gets plenty of terrific ideas from both!

Sebastian makes music from all the sounds he hears -- under the water and on the shore. When he combines them together, his music can make you feel like you are on a far-away tropical island. Music can take you on a journey, tell you a story, or make you smile. That’s what Sebastian and all musicians like to do.

Calypso is Sebastian’s favorite

kind of music! Calypso is a vibrant,

energetic style of music that comes

from the Caribbean nation of Trinidad

and Tobago. For over 100 years Calypso

musicians have used this type of music to tell their stories and entertain people at

the same time.

Maracas: sometimes called rumba shakers, are percussion instruments usually played in pairs. They consist of a dried gourd shell, leather or wood and filled with seeds or dried beans. » Make your own maracas out of recycled plastic bottles!

Guitar: a string instrument constructed from wood and strung with either nylon or steel strings. » Make your own guitar out of a box, rubber bands and a pencil!
