Canada, Caribbean music fusion

The event takes place tomorrow at the Cascadia Hotel, St Ann’s from 4 pm. Popular rock band Five Miles to Midnight will host the music fusion.

The collaboration is the brainchild of Fabian James, owner of F James Film/TV Co Ltd of St John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The company provides a diverse range of services to the entertainment and cultural industries globally.

Its activities range from creative TV concept and production, establishing and promoting cultural and musical festivals and productions, as well as designing and managing both small and large scale events for industry, government and other organisations, said a media release.

The first music-fusion reality show took place between Barbados and Canada in 2015.

Trinidad followed a year later and this year St Lucia and Jamaica were added to the mix. The work between the Canadian and Caribbean groups will be filmed on performance night and will be presented as part of the third season of the upcoming reality show Club One Releases, also produced by F James Film/TV Co Ltd.

Club One Releases, which will be aired on Flow 1, will feature live musical performances and in-depth discussions with groups from Newfoundland and Labrador who will be paired with groups from the four Caribbean islands. Flow became a major sponsor of the project in 2015, when the first successful event was held in Barbados.

Last year, F James Film/TV Co Ltd and Flow presented this exciting concept of multithemed musical arenas to a large audience at Cascadia Hotel, who indulged their musical senses in the genres of rock, blues, country, folk, hip hop and jazz blends.

It is hoped this year will be no different.
