band / ensemble / orchestraAbout
Born out of street jams in Rittenhouse Square in 2005, Trinidelphia has expanded to become Philadelphia’s preeminent Caribbean music ensemble. The name itself summarizes the mission of the band: to bring a unique Philadelphia twist to the steel drum music of Trinidad. Bandleader Chris Aschman (steelpan) is joined by Shawn Hennessey (vocals, guitar, percussion) to create a front line that can get any audience moving and grooving to the music. Ian Rafalak (bass) and Joe Truglio (drums) form the rhythm section, which can handle a range of rhythmic styles, such as soca, calypso, reggae, afro-cuban, ska, samba, funk, jazz... and the list goes on! They have performed at world-renowned venues such as the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall, Carnegie Hall and the Blue Note. They have toured the world with different groups, and have backed up stars such as Chaka Kahn, Dionne Warwick, Stanley Clarke, Tina Marie and Bill Withers....
