POWIS SQUARE, LONDON

There is a strong Caribbean-wide tradition of talk culture .This oral cultural expression consists of jokes, songs, clever word play, poems, double-entendre, Anancy stories and folktales. In some islands this is collectively called “Ole Talk”. The audience usually listens eagerly on the street corner, veranda, calypso tent, playhouse or rum shop.

Talk Yuh Talk on Saturday 29th November 2008 will be the second Talk Yuh Talk event . The first performance was also held at the Tabernacle Carnival Village in the Summer 2008. That first event was dedicated to the memory of the late Odian Cyrus also known as “Skunky” .

Talk Yuh Talk is a celebration of our Caribbean oral culture. There will be artistes representing the Caribbean and Britain performing poetry, monologues, jokes, Kaiso/calypso, drama, Rapso, steel pan solos and song. The performance ends with a live rhythm section.
