PRAISE PARTY: Jamaica Broilers and Glory Music took a year-long hiatus from the local scene to bring the Fun in the Son ministry to our neighbours in Haiti, but the team is back and ready to reintroduce the crowd-pleasing product to Jamaican gospel lovers. The one-day festival, being title-sponsored once more by Best Dressed Chicken, is expected to pull a massive turnout to the National Heroes’ Circle on July 16. Organizing committee member Dr. Claudette Cooke expects Fun in the Son to fully reprise its role of touching hearts and healing broken spirits. “If there is ever a time that our country needs healing it is now,” observes Cooke. “There are many Jamaicans who are frustrated and angry, and this event gives us an opportunity to point them to a Higher Source, from which they can get answers.”
MEMORY & LEGACY: Kingsley Cooper and the Pulse team made a bold investment when they opened the Gene Pearson Gallery at the Pulse Complex a few years ago, showcasing an artistic bounty from one of the Caribbean’s leading creative geniuses. Later this year, the Peter Tosh Museum will be established on the property. Visitors will get to view rare iconography and archival footage featuring the late reggae icon at the height of his creative powers. Among the unique offerings: footage of Tosh’s last concert – a sold-out performance at Super Jam in 1983. According to Pulse, the museum and Tosh’s final concert are “critical assets to the memory and legacy of a Jamaican icon whose call for equal rights and justice, as well as the legalization of marijuana, resonated with millions across the globe.”
