TORONTO REVELLERS SET TO WOW THE CITY

By Stephen Weir for the Caribbean Camera
Make way for the Big Big Man.  This Saturday night band leader, former NBA Star and Toronto Raptors Assistant Coach, Jamaal Magloire is hosting the Toronto Revellers Masquerade Band costume launch.
A 1,000+ crowd is anticipated for the April 7th fete which is themed as Extinction: Love Our Planet. It will be held at the York Mills Gallery on York Mills Road at 9:00 p.m.
Toronto Revellers are using Carnival as a platform to bring awareness of a very serious global crisis– Mass Extinction. 
“It’s not whether plants, animals, reefs have the will to survive, its whether humanity has the will to save them.  By being conscious of our environment, we determine the fate of our planet for future of generations to come,” says Magloire.  “Each costume will portray the beauty of the world that surrounds us!”
Magloire will be joined on stage Saturday with special guest emcees: Kat Stefankiewicz, in-game host for the Toronto Raptors and NBA TV Canada plus Caribbean Cultural Ambassador, Giselle Blanche aka Giselle D’ Wassi One.
The band launch marks the beginning of the carnival season and will feature an elaborate showcase of costumes, live theatrics, live music by Revellers DJ’s, D’Ultimate Sting, DOC and the World’s youngest DJ, Brandon Duke.

The costumes designs that will be displayed on Saturday night will be worn in the Toronto Caribbean Carnival parade on August 4th along Toronto’s Lakeshore Blvd.
Tickets for the Toronto Revellers band launch event are still available at www.ticketgateway.com

The Cutlass cutting it up after very successful debut in Toronto By Stephen Weir for the Caribbean Camera Kidnapping is a cottage industry in Trinidad. The Trinidad Guardian says that it “is a crime so epidemic that Trinidad ranks second in the world only behind Colombia for its rate of abductions”. Trinidad is so synonymous with the crime that it is not surprising that a kidnap movie made on Tobago has gained a global following!   Since its 2017 Canadian debut in Toronto at the local Caribbean Tales Film Festival, The Cutlass has become one of the most successful T&T feature films made. “We've actually had a bit of news for The Cutlass since we were in Toronto in September,” film producer Drew Umland told the Caribbean Camera. “ “Independent films with a very limited marketing budget really have an uphill battle trying to reach their market.  It truly is a grass roots effort.  Showing The Cutlass at festivals like Caribbean Tales FF in Toronto really make
