Veteran cultural icons Jemma Jordan and Kempes “Ram” Ramnarine of the Malick Folk Performing Company join Virmala to discuss the organisation’s more than 40-year commitment to preserving Trinidad and Tobago’s folk traditions.
They reflect on the importance of music, dance and drumming in celebrating African heritage, passing cultural knowledge to younger generations, and keeping the nation’s rich traditions alive as Trinidad and Tobago commemorates Emancipation Day.
