Normally I do not  like to upload stuff without having any information  for captions but in this case I think I will let that slide.

All of these are by Angus Bascombe.

During the late 80s and early 90s, a series of Bascombe prints were made calendar cover pictures. They were entitled “Delightful Trinidad and Tobago” and “Historic Trinidad and Tobago”. Paintings depicted a variety of scenes and scenic places throughout the twin island state. Not sure where these ended up but if you have any of these and are willing to share send me a message.This helps us in telling our story of Trinidad and Tobago.

otherwise prints of his work can be found at Fine Art Gallery, Trinidad.

“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.
