Friday, February 13, 2004 - Kaiso 25, one of the premiere activities on
the calendar of events for the 25th anniversary celebration of St. Lucia’s
independence has established what it is hoped will be an irreversible standard
in artistic expression in St. Lucia
The Cultural Development Foundation, the producers of the show have come in for
high praise from the Chairman of the Standing National Independence Anniversary
Committee Dr James Fletcher
Dr Fletcher says what has happened so far is an undisputed showcase of quality.
“Kaiso 25 has surpassed expectations and has gone on to set a new standard for
locally produced shows”, he said.
The turn-out, which was said to be in the thousands, was unrivalled by any
activity staged at the prestigious side lawn location at the Pigeon Island
National Landmark thus far.
Eighteen calypsonians took the crowd down memory lane with a range of
renditions, mapping an appreciative repertoire of calypsos over a 25 year
period.
