Every year, the Association of African Canadian Artists produces an art exhibition that takes place during the Scotiabank Caribana 2008 festival, North America’s largest outdoor event celebrating Caribbean and African Canadian culture. The 2008 theme is Roots to Rhythm, and artists have been asked to submit works based on the following poem written by Joan Butterfield, Curator:

We were born to the rhythm of the African drum.
We stand proud of the land that we are from.

We were stolen from the rhythm of our motherland.
To become enslaved by another man.

We refused to be broken by the rhythm of the trip,
Or the threats of a masters whip.

We Sang and we danced to the rhythm of our songs.
We disguised the words and did no wrong.

We now jump-up to the rhythm of steel pan.
We limbo to the beat of a calypso band.

We live by the rhythm of gospel sounds,
that share hope and promise of heaven bound.

We tell stories in the rhythm of jazz,
that echoes the sounds and beats of our pass.

We make love to the rhythms of soul.
Our Hip hop music is brass and bold.

Our rhythm is rooted deep within our soul, it’s
The beat of our heart, and our stories told.

Joan Butterfield, Curator: Roots to Rhythm “It was my aim to produce an exhibit that would aesthetically link our past to our future,” explains Ms. Butterfield. “I’ve striven to document and educate the audience about our rich culture and heritage. Bringing to canvas their differences, their histories, their traditions and their struggles, the extraordinary scope and diversity of the Roots to Rhythm exhibit demonstrates the outstanding abilities unique to each artist.”
A COLOURblind! travelling art exhibit produced by the Association of African Canadian Artists. Held during the final week of Scotiabank Caribana 2008 festival, North America’s largest outdoor event celebrating Caribbean and African Canadian culture.

Traditionally held two Saturdays before the main Caribana™ parade,  2008 marked the first time  all 15 participating masquerade bands brought  a junior band,”

The 2008 parade route as follows: The parade will travel west on Shoreham Drive, past the judging point at 31 Shoreham Drive (in front of Shoreham Public School). The parade then turns south onto Jane Street where it will travel until Yorkgate Blvd. It will turn west on Yorkgate Blvd and travel south ending at Hullmar Drive. Once the parade is over, there will be entertainment, DJ music, food vendors, steelpan music and a market place in Yorkgate Mall’s car park. 

Jamaal Dane Magloire who is a proud native son of Toronto, Ontario born on May 21, 1978 and a former All-Star who played with the Dallas Mavericks in the 2008  National Basketball Association (NBA) .

At Caribana 2007, NBA player Jamaal  Magloire's, Toronto Revellers, took home first place in the competition. This was only its second year as a competitive band, it won over the judges with its flashy Viva Las Vegas theme.

The victory  denied CARNIVAL NATIONZ their chance to 3-peat in the 40th anniversay parade of the bands.

Jamaal Magloire's Toronto Revellers was one of the largest mas bands ever seen on Lakeshore Blvd and it also captured the Junior Band of the Year crown held two week prior  July 21st.

I go back to Trinidad every Carnival and work with Peter Minshall who is probably the most renowned Artist/Designer in the country.

October 7th 2004 was the opening of the Oral History Museum and launch of "Telling Lives" at the Multicultural Centre to which I was the only Carnival Costuming Artist selected to contribute.

Involving youth and creating an environment for learning and expression has always been our mandate. This art must survive through our children and their children.
