After 16 successful years online, Caribbean website giant TORONTO-LIME.com closes its doors

Founder and president, Jef Lo announced today that TORONTO-LIME.com will be no more after 16 years online. After being touted the number one Caribbean website for so many years the question is why?
"It's time for me to move on" says Jef. "In the initial start-up, the mission was to give Caribbean content a place on the worldwide web. Back in 1996, the only information that would appear in a search engine for the keywords 'Soca/Calypso' was about Harry Belafonte. Over the years TORONTO-LIME.com has inspired many to post their knowledge and content online. Today there’s nothing Caribbean you cannot Google. I think I've reached my goal."
When asked if this was a move to early retirement, Jef said laughingly, "Business was good, but not that good." According to Mr. Lo, his immediate plans are to take some time off before returning to his other business (Soca Bookings), where his focus will now lie in artist management and public relations.
TORONTO-LIME.com is now officially off-line. The highly prominent domain name will be up for sale within the next few weeks and speculation on how high bidding will reach for the heavily sought-after brand is anyone's guess.

Thanks for 16 great years of promoting and keeping our Caribbean community informed! Jef and company.....you will be missed. All the best in your future endeavours!

D' Bandit takes De Treasure Mix to CHRY 105.5 FM

2012-01-13T23:48:00.001-05:00

For many years now D' Bandit has entertained us every Saturday afternoon with his internet radio show De Treasure Mix .....today it was announced that De Treasure Mix will now be heard on York U's radio station CHRY 105.5 FM

January 13th 2012,

Please join us in welcoming new programmer Dwayne (D' Bandit) Pitt into the program family. D' Bandit will be delivering De Treasure Mix each and every Saturday from 6-9PM offering a strong mix of Reggae (including Canadian Reggae) and Soca. This show will continue the legacy of presenting Caribbean culture to the masses through artist interviews and a diverse mix of up-to-date and classic music.
D' Bandit brings a strong awareness of the music and connection to artists and community over a decade of deejaying and concert promotion across the GTA and North America. He is excited about the opportunity to showcase the strengths of his culture and Caribbean heritage.
We believe he will add much to the programing content on the dial (at 105.5FM) and help CHRY embody our role as talent developers of new broadcasters across the GTA and Canada.
Please forward your questions and/or concerns to: chryprog@yorku.ca

D' Bandit says.......

Join me every Saturday from 6pm-9pm on Toronto’s number one College Radio Station. I intend to bring the best in Soca and Reggae to the FM dial in Toronto. Similar to what has been done on my internet radio for almost 10 years. Please check out my podcast of my past shows to get a feel for De Treasure Mix at http://www.dbandit.com/treasure-mix.
You can see me in studio or join us in the chat room on http://www.dbandit.com/live or you can also listen live at http://www.chry.fm or alternatively at Rogers Cable Ch. 945 and Bell Fibe 973

Obeah Opera

2012-01-06T18:23:00.002-05:00

Set in the late 17th century, Obeah Opera follows the journey of a Caribbean woman Tituba, in the days before her capture, her incarceration, and her stand on trial during the most infamous ‘witch-hunt’ in history. This uplifting Caribbean themed opera explores myths surrounding the Salem Witch trials whilst unraveling the branding of obeah as evil and connecting it back to its true spiritual nature rooted in West Africa. Sung in complete a cappella, Obeah Opera gives a voice to a group of women whose story has been missing from the pages of history.

Black History is next month and the event schedule for

Kuumba at Harbourfront Centre is available on their website: http://www.harbourfrontcentre.com/kuumba/events.cfm?festival_id=99

Exploring African roots through a 21st-century perspective.

Plato said that through perspective “every sort of confusion is revealed within us; and this is that weakness of the human mind on which the art of conjuring and of deceiving by light and shadow and other ingenious devices imposes, having an effect upon us like magic.”

This year we explore Black History Month, going back to the African roots and show these roots through our 21-century perspective. Where are we on the journey? What has changed? What hasn’t changed? How do we share our perspectives on issues affecting the black community?

With artist showcases, discussion panels, storytelling, a fashion workshop with Stacey Mackenzie, drumming, hip hop and dance workshops, games, and a village market, we will celebrate these roots through the art of light and shadow, and keep them en perspectiva.

Breaking News: Colin Rickards passes on

One of Toronto's best known voices and community journalists, Colin Rickards, passed away suddenly at his home in Toronto on Thursday night. Doctors said Rickards suffered a massive heart attack and died almost instantly.
A columnist with The Caribbean Camera newspaper for the last 15 years, Rickards was best known for his series on "Caribbean People", and was considered Canada's leading authority on Caribbean history and affairs. He was once nominated for an Order of Canada.
A former CBC radio contributor to the now defunct Radio Canada International, the British-born Rickards spent decades as a correspondent for numerous Caribbean newspapers for several major British dailies, before migrating to Canada, where he put his knowledge on the history on the region into a number of well-received books.
Rickards was also well known in literary circles in Canada, and was a personal friend of many of the world's best known writers, including CLR James, VS Naipaul and Samuel Selvon. He was often the "go-to" guy for information on the Caribbean for many of Canada's leading newspapers, television stations and radio stations.
"Life goes on, but it is going to be difficult without him," said Caribbean Camera editor Raynier Maharaj. "Colin was an integral part of this newspaper, and he gave me a lot of ideas when we first started this paper in 1990. More than that, we've been friends for 22 years. I will miss his friendship and his professional advice. There is none in Canada better than Colin when coming to knowing the history and current affairs of the Caribbean."
Rickards leaves to mourn his wife Ida and son Damien. Funeral arrangements are still to be announced.

Remembrance Day......LEST WE FORGET

2011-11-11T09:56:00.001-05:00

A time to reflect, a time to pray.

A time to say thank you to our fallen

and those who stand in harm's way.

From our first responders

to our soldiers on the frontlines,

thank you for what you do,

your courage it daily shines.

Their call to duty, they respond all the same.

This remembrance day,

we remember you lest forget a single name.

Director/Choreographer and Harry Jerome Award recipient Martin Scott-Pascall, along side Dance Caribe, promises to showcase a mélange of dance styles unique to the Caribbean, performed in traditional & contemporary styling, while also uniting African, French, as well as West Indian heritage ranging from Caribbean folk characters, Creole to African and into the beat of the Drums of the Afro-Caribbean Cultures.

SUITE II - SARACA, “Nation Dance”; a repertoire of African Dances, a thanksgiving offered to the ancestor.

Radio 98.7 FM to Hit the Toronto Airwaves on October 3

2011-09-29T12:24:00.000-04:00

Eagerly-Awaited Radio Station Will Add

Diversity to Canada’s Broadcasting Landscape

On October 3, 2011, Toronto’s newest radio station, Radio 98.7 FM, will turn on its frequency and go “live” with its vibrant mix of R&B, Soul, Reggae, Soca, Hip Hop, Worldbeat, Gospel, and Smooth Jazz. On that date, Intercity Broadcasting Network Inc. (IBN), Radio 98.7’s parent company, will also officially unveil the station name, call letters and branding, as well as introduce its executive team.

Radio 98.7 FM (formerly referred to as CARN Radio) will target the population of the Greater Toronto Area with an eclectic offering of Black and Caribbean music, news, talk, and cultural programming. The station, which received its broadcast licence from the Canadian Radio-television & Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on June 9, will focus on the 25-54 demographic.

“When listeners tune in to 98.7 on the FM dial, they will be treated to the sweet, soulful, and rhythmic sounds of internationally-renowned artists who are either non-existent, or completely under-represented, on the Toronto airwaves,” said Radio 98.7 Founder, President & CEO, Fitzroy Gordon. “This massive list includes artists such as R&B giants The Temptations, Soca queen Alison Hinds, Afrobeat king Fela Kuti, Reggae ambassador Beres Hammond, and Gospel icon Kirk Franklin. We’ll also highlight young stars like Rihanna and Canada’s own Drake. This station is long overdue, and we are very excited to be bringing this format to the people of Toronto.”

As part of the required signal frequency testing process (mandated by Industry Canada), Radio 98.7will broadcast a music-only playlist for several weeks. Full programming, including the addition of on-air announcers, station promotions, commercials, and a robust news & talk format will commence in November.

“I am very proud of the strong executive team that we have put in place to lead this pioneering effort,” says Gordon. “We are now undergoing an in-depth outreach and hiring process to round out the core personnel, which will include the on-air announcers, as well as promotional, sales, production, and technical support staff.”
