Saturday Brunch Featuring John Skweird and Bridgette Wilson

In this bonus interview episode of the Saturday Brunch Podcast, R&B vocalist John Skweird, chats about his body of work, and the creative communities that he emerged out of; including Youth Pulse choir, the stomping ground of several other brilliant artists in the late 1990s. Speaking honestly on finding his place in the local music scene and the challenges therein, the St. Barbs native considers experimentation with calypso, his love for hip hop music and the social impact of the 1990 attempted coup on his community environment.

 

Eagerly returning as principal to the dance school she was trained at, Bridgette Wilson of the Caribbean School of Dance speaks on her work as a choreographer, her involvement in shaping the movement magic of The Lost Tribe Carnival band and her musings as educator transforming young lives. Both artists describe their relationship to music during childhood and how it has framed both their memory and realities.
