Claudia
Edward to perform in London
Six emerging
artistes and two headline acts will showcase
regional talent during the London 2012 Olympics
as Caribbean Export Development Agency (Caribbean
Export) hosts Caribbean Soul Fusion on August
9, 2012 at Grosvenor House, London, UK.
This event,
which forms a part of the Agency’s London
Engage initiative, will highlight a wide range
of Caribbean genres, namely Reggae, Soca, Creole
Music (Zouk and Kompa), Caribbean Jazz, Folk
and Afro-Haitian.
“One of
the best identifiers of the Caribbean Brand
and its uniqueness is our music. Its ability
to have global appeal is unquestionable. What
we are seeking to do with Caribbean Soul Fusion,
is to showcase that authentic Caribbean culture
and widen the market appeal for our regional
music”, commented Pamela Coke Hamilton,
Executive Director, Caribbean Export. “As
such, the artistes that will be preforming will
represent the diverse nature of musical genres
across the Caribbean. Not only will the entertainment
industry benefit from the increased demand for
the products on offer, but also performers will
have the opportunity to display the export potential
of their craft and its appeal to an international
audience”, Coke Hamilton concluded.
