This evening Mon­day 7th June, the pub­lic is in­vit­ed to WA­TER­SHED–a cel­e­bra­tion of the sounds from the Kiskadee era at Club Ibiza, Tragerete Road, Wood­brook, at 9-11.30 pm. Per­form­ing will be Omari Ash­by (Kin­dred), Rubadiri Vic­tor (Chatwell), with Ozy Ma­jiq (Home­front) and oth­ers cap­ping off a Rap­somen re­union from the 90s. The group will be tak­ing a ride down mem­o­ry lane re­mem­ber­ing that pe­ri­od from 1991-1995 which is pop­u­lar­ly re­gard­ed a mi­ni-Gold­en Age in Trinidad and To­ba­go cul­ture where young mu­sic, fash­ion and cre­ativ­i­ty blos­somed and changed the course of T&T's his­to­ry. Live mu­sic will be played with un­plugged sets by Omari Ash­by, for­mer­ly one half of pi­o­neer Rap­so group Kin­dred.

Omari has a new band called Soul Quar­ters which al­so fea­tures Shan­non Bai­ley, son of the Grand Wiz­ard him­self, the Mighty Shad­ow. Kin­dred was at one time the biggest group in T&T, rul­ing the roost with hits like This Tri­ni Could Flow, Dance, Can U Tek it, Blow Way and Free­dom Jam. Ozy Ma­jiq for­mer­ly of Home­front was al­so part of that rev­o­lu­tion with the great Rap­so bal­lad Give Your­self a Chance and the mon­ster hit Rollin' which rev­o­lu­tionised So­ca and mu­sic for the road. Rubadiri Vic­tor's band Chantwell al­so con­tributed to this mi­ni-Re­nais­sance with his band's mas­sive hit and video Clear de Way which was pro­duced in­de­pen­dent of the Kiskadee Kar­a­van. �

The evening will al­so be one of mem­o­ry, where­by the crew will be rem­i­nisc­ing about that sem­i­nal pe­ri­od in T&T cul­ture. They will talk about a time when lo­cal youths were wear­ing lo­cal de­sign la­bels like The Cloth and First Chap­ter Adam which were val­ued more than for­eign la­bels. They will talk about Par­ty Time. The night will be capped off by the bril­liant DJ stylings of Ozy with his Fly­ing Gal­vanise DJ la­bel which spins the most eclec­tic and dance­able grooves be­ing played in T&T at present.
