Chantwell is Rubadiri Victor and the family of musicians he collaborates with. Chantwell was one of the pioneer new Rapso groups of the third wave of Rapso in the early 1990s that re-ignited young Trinidad and Tobago music, alongside groups like Kindred and Home Front. Chantwell expanded the sound of Rapso by including Funk, Alternative Rock, Folk and Jazz into the music- as well as a commitment to live-band music.

The band was well known in the 90s for its anthemic radio and video hit ‘Clear de Way’. Chantwell was signed to the Rituals Music label in the mid-90s and released an EP ‘Come Out in de Road, Warrior!’. Singles from that album- like the groovy World Beat Rapso ‘Morning Ground’- have appeared on more than 35 compilations internationally, and were nominated for 2 Sunshine Music Awards.

As a multi-media Artist working in 8 mediums and as a cultural Activist,  Rubadiri had to put his musical career to the side for decades- but never stopped song-writing. Now with a catalogue of more than 200 songs and new sounds to explore, Chantwell is ready to return. Come Dance with us!..
