Cultural Pursuits

Since I have been mentioning this to  a few people and I said in my last post I would upload the teaser, here it is- the teaser for “Calypso on Trial: the story of Rum and Coca Cola”

“a powerful, positive, soul to soul message”

Rizon has always striven to make his life a positive example for the younger generation and his visibility as a recording artiste has afforded him further opportunities to share his message. With numerous invitations as a motivational speaker, he believes these occasions complement his efforts through music to offer guidance and inspiration. This dedication to youth and the improvement of their social and spiritual consciousness has been seen as a genuine passion and strengthened his place as an ambassador for the youth.

The popularity of Rizon’s music has defied all expectations. His themes are not considered mainstream yet the universality of his message coupled with a unique musical style has captured the attention of music lovers in the Caribbean and beyond, achieving both commercial and critical acclaim, including his live performances, for which he has been described by one journalist as ‘a powerhouse’.

Rizon has established himself in the music industry as a distinctly conscious voice. With sharp lyrical compositions; evocative images; refreshing musical structures; a powerful, effervescent personality; and a fierce resolve to confront the violence and moral corruption that has become so prevalent in Trinbagonian society and the world at large. Rizon is set to create a lasting impact on the Caribbean music scene, an ambassador with a distinctive sound and an eternal message.

"Phagwa not a Hindu Carnival"

In commemoration of this festival here is a link to an article for those of us who do not know much about the origin and reason for the celebation.

To my  Hindu family and friends Blessed Holi may we destroy the evils that we may have within ourselves and to allow the truth to flow in our hearts, the love to flow, the unity to flow.

The debate continues... is Carnival art dying?

Be sure to read the comments as well.

The things we in Trinidad and Tobago see as we go about  our daily business.

When last have you stopped to just appreciate things like:

a seascape- being an island state we take it for granted we will always be able to go observe the surf at anytime, but what if one day we wake up and it is  no more? what if one  day we wake up in a metropolis unable to hear the music of the water or see the sun’s rays glistening on the water? Nothing will be able to replace that feeling.

a landscape: what pictures would the following generations have to see the natural beauty of a place?

a house: so many do not have the privilege of having a roof over their heads. some are in tents others in cardboard boxes while others get shelter where they can.

a church: aplace of worship, a place of refuge. Many have been turned into places of decay because society has moved away from the notion of fellowship. These monuments stand alone and empty. just like the elders who need taking care of they are neglected and crumble.

a flower: the cycle of flowers symbolic of renewal. we do not have to wait for an entire year to pass to be given an opportunity  to start arfesh, the possibilty is there in every new bloom.

a tree laden with fruit: when last you ate a fruit straight from a tree? Do we still have enough trees? all we want is fast food, prepackaged and yet we wonder why  certain health issues are on the rise.

a memory: we chose to throw away the memories that remind us where we came from and those that show us the core of who we are.

a sunset that heralds the end of the day and is precursor to a new tomorrow.
