             Show starts at 9:30    ----   $1000 at the door 


2017 marks the historic reunion of some of the most celebrated musicians in Jamaica, a stellar line up from the era when reggae first emerged into the global consciousness.

The Kingston All Stars are Sly Dunbar, Ansel Collins, Mikey “Mao” Chung, Hux Brown, Jackie Jackson, Robbie Lyn, Anthony " Bassy " Hibert, Everton & Everald Gayle. Under the artistic direction of Moss “ Mossman “ Raxlen, a multi-faceted musician, producer, engineer and writer, the KAS will be releasing new recordings as well as performing live shows internationally.

These are the musicians and session men who recorded at a variety of Jamaica’s legendary studios, and created so many of the classic rhythms from the 1960’s and ‘70’s – a countless number which have since become staples in a wide variety of today’s musical genres from hip hop to dancehall to dubstep and techno.

In various incarnations, members of the group have been part of or recorded with Bob Marley’s Wailers Band, Studio One’s Sound Dimension and Soul Vendors Band, Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Upsetters, Peter Tosh’s Word Sound and Power Band, Toots and the Maytals, Now Generation and many more.

Internationally, beyond Jamaica, many of the musicians in the Kingston All-Stars have worked with the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, James Brown, Grace Jones, No Doubt, Paul Simon, Serge Gainsbourg, Paul McCartney, Herbie Hancock and many other rock, pop and jazz greats.

Let's gather as Marcia Douglas shares her most recent work 'The Maervelous Equations of the Dread' with us. We'll sip coffee, tea or water and nibble a little something sweet from the cafe, soak up di words an have a good chat.

Marcia
Marcia Douglas was born in the U.K. and grew up in Jamaica. She is the author of the novels, The Marvellous Equations of the Dread: a Novel in Bass Riddim (2016), Madam Fate (1999) and Notes from a Writer's Book of Cures and Spells (2005) as well as a collection of poetry, Electricity Comes to Cocoa Bottom (1999).

Her work has appeared in journals and anthologies internationally, including Edexcel Anthology for English Language/London Examinations IGCSE, The Oxford Book of Caribbean Verse, The Forward Book of Poetry, Sisters of Caliban: Contemporary Women Poets of the Caribbean, Cultural Activism: Poetic Voices, Political Voices, Kingston Noir, Jubilation! Poems Celebrating 50 Years of Jamaican Independence, Mojo: Conjure Stories, Whispers from Under the Cotton Tree Root: Caribbean Fabulist Fiction, Caribbean Erotic: Poetry, Prose, Essays, The Art of Friction: Where (Non) Fictions Come Together, and Home: An Imagined Landscape.

Her awards include a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and a U.K. Poetry Book Society Recommendation. In addition to writing, she performs a one-woman show, Natural Herstory, and teaches at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

'The Marvelous Equations of the Dread'
The Marvellous Equations of the Dread tells the twin stories of Jamaica’s nihilistic violence and its wondrously creative humanity and does truthful justice to both. It takes place in the worlds of the living and in the vivid afterlife of the dead, spanning Kingston ghettoes and Emperor Haile Selassie's palace in Addis Ababa.

At its heart are the human stories of deaf Leenah, who with her mother and daughter tells a powerful woman version of events; the relationship between Fall-down (a Kingston madman and fallen angel) and Delroy, an orphaned street-boy; and the meetings in the clock tower at Half Way Tree between Bob Marley and Marcus Garvey.

Not least of the novel's marvellous equations are the dread revenants who encourage the living to take responsibility for the future of the nation.

Written with an ear to music, this novel is a bass track of ancestral memory and the inexorable search for freedom.

In the Caribbean, significant progress was recorded during the first 15 years of the millennium. Child mortality figures improved, the number of people living on less than USD 2.5 per day reduced significantly and all countries of CARICOM achieved universal primary education. Such progress has not been without some negative consequences, a major one being the perennial challenge of evidence-based decision-making, data inadequacy and the need for more research.

Over the period 2017-2021, the UN Multi-Country Sustainable Development Framework (MSDF) will guide the programme activities of the United Nations Agencies, Funds and Programmes in Barbados and the member States of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), as well as in Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. Derived from the traditional United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), the multi-country approach reflects the acknowledgment that, in order to maximize development impact in the region, an integrated sustainable development approach requires addressing common and inter-related issues at both regional and national levels, in support of the SDGs.

In order to ensure effective engagement with the primary partners on research, evidence, measurements and data, clear and deliberate paths must be created to engage academia. This conference is therefore conceptualized as a significant opportunity to forge partnerships with the academic community of the Caribbean and contribute to the accumulation of data, research based policy and measures of development across the Caribbean society.
