Cyril Paul comes from Trinidad in the Caribbean. Trinidad is the land of Calypso, Steel Bands, the Limbo, and Carnival. Cyril Paul and the Calypso Monarchs bring you a taste of the Carnival experience. Cyril began his musical career in Trinidad as a singer and bongo artist. He and his band are widely known throughout the Midwest for their toe tapping Calypso melodies and all the other types of music from the Islands, including rumba, bolero, cha cha and reggae. They play music that is hot, hot, hot.

The Calypso Monarchs consist of Cyril and four or five other musicians. They are guitar player, keyboard player, bass player, drummer and sometimes a steel drummer, plus they all sing.

Cyril and his band have performed at a wide variety of functions all over Minnesota: weddings, private parties, corporate functions, churches, schools, and park concerts.
