SIGN UP FOR OUR 
Surf Rock Reggae by Mr. Kowalsky
From October 26th to October 31st, Costa Rica’s own Mr. Kowalsky will make media appearances in Mexico to introduce the new album SURF ROCK REGGAE, play acoustic gigs, show the new video clip for the single “LIVE ONCE” and more.
SURF ROCK REGGAE was recorded at Hurley Recordings Studio in Costa Mesa, California, earlier this year. In this new album, Mr. Kowalsky sings in English, Spanish and French, and he mixes musical styles that range from ska to roots and from surf rock to Latin jazz.
The first video single in support of the album is “LIVE ONCE,” which was filmed on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica and features a day in the life of Mr. Kowalsky. In this video, the musician wakes up early to surf, drink coconut water, ride his bicycle, play football, and spend time with friends.
Mr. Kowalsky is a Costa Rican musician based in Boston, MA. He formed his first band in 1995 and an enthusiastic reception from the audience inspired him to pursue his music interest seriously. Mr. K has played more than 250 shows to date in Costa Rica, Panamá, England, France, Germany and the U.S. and has opened for well known Latin American bands such as Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Ataque 77 and The Toasters among others.
Mr. K has played in many Boston venues including The Middle East Downstairs, The House Of Blues, Precinct, and Tommy Doyles for a “Clandestino” event, the biggest Latin Indie Rock party in New England. Mr. K has recorded three albums and created music videos for television. His work has been recognized by ACAM, a prestigious Costa Rican music academy. In 2008 he moved to Boston to improve his musical career.
Through Mr. K’s lyrics he invites the listener to make a transformation in their lives. He is convinced that the changes of the nation or human destiny depend on the personal evolution of individual minds.
His inspiration is to someday see a sustainable world where society lives in peace with other species and the environment. His biggest battle now is fighting consumerism, big corporations, animal extinction, and government corruption.
Every Mr.Kowalsky show is different. He sings in English and Spanish, and the concept of the show depends on the event, the venue, the country, etc. The show always has some improvisation and Mr. K always interacts with audience inviting them to be part of the show. In addition to his original music, he normally covers bands like The Clash, Toots and Maytals, Los Pericos, The Flaming Lips, and Radiohead among others. Mr K. creates a unique experience for the audience with indie rock and latin rhythms.
Mr. Kowalsky has been on the road since 2011, touring mostly in Europe, where he has achieved critical acclaim in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, France, England and Romania. The live shows are never the same there’s a vibrant powerful mix of Punk, Rock, Indie, Ska & reggae with a Latin flavor. Once Mr. Kowalsky takes the stage, he and his band go off like a rocket. Whether at a large festival in Europe or a small club in Boston, Mr. Kowalsky will have you dancing and singing all night long.
