Events' Realm

Iset Sankofa forges ahead of the turntable constellation with a stunningly refreshing kinda sound. This is the 'all genres considered' milieu... where dusty Malian Blues takes a night stroll with Dub, Naija hip hop flirts dangerously with Kingston Dancehall grit,  and bubbly Brazilian Electronica steams a peace pipe with Afro-Jazz futurism. 
 
For this self-described 'bird', she is always reaching beyond the beyond and fetching back what she terms as musical source-code. In that, we can find a song or a groove so undeniable in it's appeal that it not only builds on the idea of the universality of music but of sound itself. Her musical selections have a way of running past the dance-able and the obvious. Usually, the next stop is a bold convergence of history and magic - one that playfully wields the listener into the lush, downright sensuous terrain that music can be. 
 
For Sankofa, hers is an imagined and realized terrain where digital divides are effortlesly bridged in 128 BPMs and new music lifts a hat to traditional sounds via a kind of time-travelling-self-discovering-remixing sort of aesthetic.

Ladies Night

Lovers of literature will enjoy a relaxing day on May 23, 2015, listening to a variety of established and emerging writers at Two Seasons Talking Trees Literary Fiesta, on the grounds of Two Seasons Guest House in Treasure Beach, on Jamaica's South Coast.

Reflecting the voices of "those who came" to enrich the cultural fabric of Jamaica, already confirmed are ...

    Jamaica’s third Poet Laureate, UWI Professor Emeritus    Mervyn Morris
    UWI Professor Emeritus of English and poet, Eddie Baugh
    young adult author and one of the Fiesta’s organizers, Gwyneth Harold-Davidson (Young Heroes of the Caribbean)
    retired UWI lecturer, writer and editing professional, Victor Chang (Journal of West Indian Literature Pathways, a journal of creative writing)
    performance poet, Cherry Natural
    story-teller, Amina Blackwood-Meeks
    poet, Tanya Shirley
    and co-ordinator of the Jamaica Observer’s literary publication, Bookends and short-story writer, Sharon Leach


The Fiesta will climax with readings by multiple award winning poet, Lorna Goodison.

Some eight other wordsmiths have been approached, including writer, Geoffrey Haddad (If I’m not back by Wednesday).

Fabian Thomas will be the Master of Ceremonies for the day, and his 10-minute play, Devon, will be staged. The play was one of the works presented in the Eight by Ten theatre festival (eight plays of ten minutes performed each night for three nights) held in September 2014 at the Philip Sherlock Centre for the Creative Arts, The UWI, Mona.

Billed as a family affair, there will be a special children’s programme.

Talking Trees Literary Fiesta on May 23, 2015 is presented by Two Seasons Guest House in association with the Gloria Lyn Memorial Fund and the Department of Literatures in English, The University of the West Indies, Mona Campus.
