Born out of the Rev­o­lu­tion in 1969 lead­ing up to the Black Pow­er Move­ment in 1970, the Vil­lage Drums of Free­dom Or­gan­i­sa­tion, head­ed by Ger­ald Achee and Ny­ron Greenidge, has re­mained stead­fast over the past 41 years in pro­mot­ing black cul­ture. Each year the or­gan­i­sa­tion hosts a three-day fes­ti­val with spe­cif­ic themes in the city that nev­er sleeps–St James. This year the fes­ti­val dubbed "Drums Salute Dance" is fo­cus­ing more on drums and dance said Achee, with the team's vi­sion be­ing to bridge gaps and bring cul­tures to­geth­er. Over the three day pe­ri­od one can en­joy, food, dance, drum­ming, po­et­ry, doc­u­men­taries, rap­so, reg­gae, ca­lyp­so, fash­ion and more. The event which be­gan on Fri­day night, ends this evening and is open to the pub­lic.
