Ca­lyp­so Queen Stacey Sobers is set to take the stage once again for her sec­ond con­cert in 2021. In recog­ni­tion of Ca­lyp­so His­to­ry Month, Sobers will host Crack­ers and Cheese at Home, a livestream con­cert on Sun­day at 6 pm. The show will be streamed via IEnt Live.

Sobers will per­form some of her win­ning com­po­si­tions in­clud­ing Queens and Kings, which won her the 2018 NWAC—Na­tion­al Ca­lyp­so Queens Com­pe­ti­tion. The con­cert will al­so fea­ture per­for­mances by artistes: Kris­son Joseph, Dar­wen Pharaoh Greenidge, and the band Chan­tal Es­delle and Moyenne. View­ers will be treat­ed to a range of mu­sic in trib­ute to such leg­ends as Ras Shorty I, An­dre Tanker, Singing San­dra, Broth­er Re­sis­tance, the Mighty Sniper and David Rud­der. Mas­ter of Cer­e­monies for the night will be Omari Ash­by.

Why Crack­ers and Cheese? “It is an epic Trin­bag­on­ian dish, al­so known as Crix and cheese, that you can find at just about any event, from a wake to a gar­den par­ty. This show will demon­strate the rich­ness of our cul­tur­al di­ver­si­ty. While we can­not con­nect phys­i­cal­ly just yet, and there are a lot of peo­ple who can­not come home as well, the livestream event al­lows us to en­joy our tra­di­tions to­geth­er, even though we are still at home,” Sobers ex­plained.

This is a sec­ond event that Sobers is host­ing in 2021, fol­low­ing her on­line Car­ni­val show in Jan­u­ary which was streamed via the WACK 90.1fm plat­form.

It was al­so im­por­tant for Sobers to host Crack­ers and Cheese in Oc­to­ber, in ho­n­our of Ca­lyp­so His­to­ry Month.

“This in­dus­try and this mu­sic has giv­en me so much. It is where I found my voice and I have a great deal of re­spect for the men and women who came be­fore me and laid the foun­da­tion for me to live my pas­sion,” she said.
