….the event series is poised
to provide an ecstatic expression of feeling
The Jamaican Entertainment scene was birthed on the concept of a
vibrant and exciting live element; it saw the emergence of the dub sessions,
melodious acoustic studio recordings, hilarious plays, thrilling sound/artiste
clashes and mind gripping poetic displays. Over time we have slowly started
losing focus on some of these elements and many argue that this has contributed
to what has become a less than impressive local entertainment scene. With the
introduction of Rhap.so.dy, a
passionate group of young people are set to reintroduce live poetry, starting
in the metropolis.
“Like the name suggests the event series is
poised to provide an ecstatic expression of feeling as true poets are known
for” explains a visibly enthusiastic Tanhoi Sinclair from the Promotional team
responsible for the event series. She went on to explain “We just want to feed
the hunger for quality live entertainment”. Rhap.so.dy promises to cater to
patrons who crave a nice relaxing evening filled with superb live
entertainment; this will take the form of established/budding poets, story
tellers and other performers delivering a special mix of talent each night. The
ultimate gratification for them is to gain exposure via this medium to mature
audiences.
This event will create an intimate
environment for live performers and enthusiasts alike forming what will become
the premier ‘Poetry Jam Session’ in Jamaica. Allowing anyone to exercise their
poetic muscle and/or come and enjoy the same, while helping to build the poetry
community in Jamaica.
Rhap.so.dy will be held every Thursday
evening between 6pm and 12am at Thiaah’s Juices and Organic Foods (22 Belmont
Road, Kingston 6). Entry to the event will be charge free with refreshments on
sale throughout the night. These will feature savory vegetarian finger foods,
Natural juices and a fine selection of some of the world’s best wines.
The invitation is open to all performers to
come and showcase their talent, if interested an email may be sent to the team
