Kevin Davis & Ban Caribe

Native New Yorker, Kevin Davis began his music career studying music theory and percussion while growing up in the multicultural communities of New York City. 

After studying abroad in Puerta Rico, Dominican Republic, and Jamaica he relocated to Virginia's Capital city. He keeps the music close to his heart while playing with many national artists and directing Ban Caribe. 

BAN CARIBE is an exciting blend of Afro-Cuban, Latin, Caribbean, and soulful rhythm and blues. all hailed together with pulsating percussion. The musical compositions and arrangements are spiritually inspired by the rhythmic beats and chants of African music.  Our music is coined "CLAVE SOUL." It is soulful, sophisticated, universal and unique. Kevin's interpretation of "CLAVE SOUL" is the replacement of the traditional drum set of Rock n Roll with a Latin percussion ensemble of timbales, conga's, bongos, maracas, and claves. 

Our popular composition "Tambour" recorded on the Vacation Time CD held the number 1 position on the Latin Beat Magazine Hit Parade, for over 8 weeks as well as the Salsa Charts. Don't miss the opportunity to experience this unique and electrifying band.
