EVENT ENDED
Caribbean vocal ensemble, the Braata Folk Singers has expanded their repertoire in another live production since the pandemic began. The New York-based group, primarily focused on showcasing and preserving Caribbean folk music, now performs inspirational and reggae songs. The Braata Folk Singers, under the creative direction of Jamaican born actor, singer, and producer Andrew Clarke, and the musical direction of Joel Edwards, will once again present “Rebirth.” The title of the show is a metaphor for the world emerging from the pandemic. This year, the ensemble is armed with brand new songs with a specific focus of celebrating the 60th independence of Jamaica & Trinidad and Tobago. The show is designed to celebrate some of the most remarkable aspects of each of these nations - looking back while also looking forward.
