As we wind down from a bumper Carnival season, The Academy For The Performing Arts at UTT presents an unforgettable evening of music, memories, and meaningful conversation as UTT Master Artist in Residence, David Boothman, hosts “The Elders Before Us: Bridging the Gap of the ’60s – ’70s”.
This special roundtable discussion brings together legendary voices and cultural icons—David Rudder, Neil Payne, Carl Jacobs, Tony Hepburn, Amery Nathaniel, and Ian Masan—to explore the vibrant sounds and stories of Trinidadian music during the transformative decades of the 1960s and 1970s.
The panel will dive into the rhythms, struggles, and triumphs that defined an era, as these pioneers share their firsthand experiences, insights, and the enduring legacy of their contributions to Trinidad and Tobago’s rich musical heritage. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the sounds of the time, this event promises to inspire, educate, and connect generations through the power of music.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to celebrate the elders who paved the way and discover how their artistry continues to resonate today.
