‘Santimanitay’ Calypso music was developed in Trinidad in the 17th century from the West African Kaiso and canboulay music. Santimanitay, is a cultural way of expressing your lyrics in a song. As stated to the youngsters at the book launch, “It’s our version of freestyle.” This song was chosen and played by panist Dr. Kendall K Williams while the readings were done on the Carlos Lezama Children’s Story book launch on Sunday. If you listen closely you will hear the melody of the Pan play while the readers read the excerpts from the book #CulturalWarrior Jaidyn and the King of the Brooklyn Carnival.

This reading presented by Kenny Lezama the grandson of #CarlosLezama was truly a monumental moment as he read the chapter on the Crown Heights Riot in Brooklyn, New York. If you recall On Aug. 19, 1991, at roughly 8:20 p.m., a vehicle that was part of a three-car motorcade carrying Menachem Schneerson, grand rebbe of the Lubavitch Hasidic community, struck and killed Gavin Cato and seriously injured his cousin Angela. This resulted in three days of unremitting turmoil that pitted angry Hasidic Jews against outraged African-American and Caribbean. Lezama was instrumental in helping to restore the relationship between the Black & Jewish Community. The Carnival as Kenny read went on...that year the Rabbi from the Jewish Community walked alongside Carlos Lezama in the New York City Carnival Parade. #history #legacy #lezama #claccc #culturalwarrior https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/brooklyn/crown-heights-erupts-days-race-riots-1991-article-1.2750050 📚 https://www.lulu.com/shop/search.ep?keyWords=Lezama-Clark&type=

‘De Parang Now Start’ What is Parang? Parang is a popular folk music originating from Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago, it was brought to Trinidad and Tobago by Venezuelan and Colombian migrants who were primarily of Amerindian, Spanish, Mestizo, Pardo, Cocoa panyol, and African heritage, something which is strongly reflected in the music itself. #parang #ourculture #holidayseason
#CLACCC is proud to announce the upcoming #Holiday Celebration & #Booklaunch of the Carlos Lezama Children’s Story #CulturalWarrior on 12-15-19 at Tropical Paradise Grand Ballroom & Catering from 2pm-5pm.
Why we love our #culture. This little baby is playing Pan before he can talk. Steel pans were created on the Caribbean island of Trinidad in the 1930s, but steel pan history can be traced back to the enslaved Africans who were brought to the islands during the 1700s. They carried with them elements of their African culture including the playing of hand drums. Our culture is kept alive through our youths #claccc #carloslezama.

On November 4th we lost one of our cultural sisters. Our beloved Dylliss Leon-Soon was a proud member of #WIADCA. Born in the town of Laventille, Port of Spain after completing her primary and secondary education in Trinidad, she emigrated to the USA. From there she transitioned to the legal profession, which was her dream. Dyliss’s dedication to her career was exceeded only by her loyalty and dedication to her family. Dylliss served many years as a member of WIADCA. She was one of our #CulturalWarriors. Our condolences to her family. May she Rest In Peace. Pannist: Tyler Cohen of CASYM Inc.
