“Ase, Ase, Ase” rang through the air at the opening prayers of Convois 2019, a two-week tribute to artists Winston “Shadow” Bailey and Leroy Clarke hosted by the Lloyd Best Institute of the Caribbean in Tunapuna.
The Convois this year celebrates the art of Shadow and Clarke who both used ideas of obeah to spiritually inspire and shape their art. The opening night took place on March 19 under a white tent in the backyard of the institute’s offices. The institute is an independent non-profit organisation dedicated to realising the potential of the Caribbean.

odw: I have one for you!!!
I did an interview with SPARROW around 1981 in San Francisco and I asked him how a successful man like him could sing a song so MIRED IN POVERTY. And his response brought me back down to earth: He said that CALYPSO is a show ... when you get ON STAGE it is a PERFORMANCE and it has nothing to do with SLINGER FRANCISCO as A PERSON.
IT'S ENTERTAIMENT!!!
