VIRTUAL HOLIDAY CONCERT

 A REVIEW: VIRTUAL HOLIDAY CONCERT 12/13/20

Promoted & Sponsored by

PALM BEACH COMMUNITY OUTREACH, INC 

Virtual events have become the norm. Many of us who have a deep love and appreciation of the various, and diversified cultiral art forms, couldn't sit still and wait on the dreaded virus to dissipate, before doing what we love to do - promoting, and showcasing, our talented artists who bring our culture alive. Our Caribbean culture and heritage, Guyana and Suriname included, makes us rich and proud.

The artists who performed have supported us before, in the different cultural organizations that we lead - GUYANA DAY USA, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO CITIZENS ASSOCIATION, SOUNTECC BBQ, THE ESSENCE OF MUSIC - and we took pride in bringing them together, as professionals and creative, emerging, new comers, to share their talents with you, our followers and supporters. These different groups have bonded together as PALM BEACH COMMUNITY OUTREACH, a duly registered,not for profit, corporation, to make culture and community outreach its primary goal. As individual organizations, however, we will still pursue and manage events that have become our identifying, organizational promotions.

We extend profound and sincere thanks to the performing artists.

FLORIDA: Ashaay, Vickram Ganesh, Riv Persaud, Mr. Anil, Paul Anthony, Sweet Shells, Adesh Nandlal, DJ OM, Sudesh Narine, Brian Nandlal, Jus Jake.

NEW YORK: Sushila Devi, Jamal Persaud, Sean Kulsum.

GUYANA: Pooran Seeraj, Roger Hinds, Nishal B, Steven Ramphal, Michelle 'Big Red' King.

TRINIDAD and TOBAGO: Omardath Maraj, Satnarine Ragoo.

It was a first time experience for us, and we are aware that there was a glitch at the end of the show, which we quickly corrected. If you have seen any aspect for improvement, please let us know, so that we could master this art of going virtual.

While all the Directors of PALM BEACH COMMUNITY OUTREACH contrbuted in making this concert possible, it was SUDESH NARINE, our IT engineer, who designed and constructed the Virtual Concert. We salute him.

Our Board of Directors: Harry Bissoon, Michelle Rampersad, Bill Singh, Omadat Naraine, Sudesh Narine, and Inshan Hosein, 

thank you, the viewers, who watched with us.

OUR CHANGING TIMES: DOOM OR GLORY

OUR CHANGING TIMES: DOOM OR GLORY Two particularly useful and significant lessons of human behavior that I have learnt in my social progression on the ladder of upward mobility, still habitually gnaws at my intricate psychological constructs. During my early years in the upper echelon of management, I was told by my management mentor, in simple terms, that in any social engineering of humanity, it is the living thing that has the capacity to deceive and lie, and not the inanimate objects that I will be dealing with.  Intricately connected to this observation, is the remarkable ability of  living things to decieve, and celebrate a dance of intrigue and camouflage.  We have developed this art form into means of survival, deception, treachery, vengeance,  jealousy, and unmitigated tragedy. It is amazing how this web of deceipt has embedded itself in the socio-political milieu of our existential behavior. It has become an intrinsic part of our lives, and for many it's a ...

FIRERASS

FIRERASS  Harry Bissoon 2/13/2026 Mabel, up before sunrise, long before the cock, Natty, crows.  In haste, amidst hazy and foggy mist, she pushes herself to limits anew, to meet deadline, daily vows,   The light shines through neighba Aunty Breto's windows, in an eerie brightness.  It flashes,dances,and speeds into the still darkness,  Look! Mabel laments! She gone again! To roam and suck blood, before light approaches! Firerass she is! Firerass, oh god, is Breto, a never-ending nighttime seeker of gourmet secrets.  Nay,she cannot be. She laughs and talks,day after day, with a face of neighborly goodness.  But yet,  flies and seeps through cracks, in hungry nighttime flurries of wanton, thirsty adventures of mysterious gourmet madness.  Let her go, Mabel sighs. Make your way, Breto! Make your way! You are the village night walker! @highlight

THE PANGS OF DEATH

Death is ever present, and  like a dark specter of doom, it hovers above and around us, waiting in the shadows to attack and devastate. It is envious of birth, which brings joy and happiness to us. Envious of our struggles down paths of thorns and roses.It follows us, breaching our defenses when and where we least expect it. Maybe this is why some of us celebrate death and mourn the coming of new life. Maybe this is why some of us glorify death and its painful throes of the unfettered release of our souls to be free of the agonizing clutches of life. Maybe, this why birth and new life are lamented by some, knowing of the trials, tribulations, and bumpy paths that lead us into the hands of Death Itself. Nonetheless, whatever views and opinions we hold close to our bosoms, we still ponder upon this dilemma, trying to reconcile the beatitudes of life and death,being fully aware that death is always filled with agony and sadness.  We are children of promises and faith. We are chil...
