Team L3 is in festive Olympic spirits this month as we
receive news and updates about Caribbean athletes competing at the world’s
highest level of competition. We are
pleased to bring our readers some of the best photos that capture the essence
and the feel of the Olympics prior to the closing ceremony on Sunday August 12th,
2012.
Tricia ‘Sparks’ Spence interviews No Maddz, a band from
Jamaica, who is a shining success for the world to see and hear. The group has been together for years, has
played and performed in multiple cities, and is one of the few to say they are
endorsed by major corporations. How they
achieved success, and their plans for the future is covered. Did we mention the fact that they have an
uncontrollable sense of humour?!
Heike Dempster covered Jamaica’s premiere Reggae Festival, Sumfest,
2012. Reporting on the performances, and
including her impressions, Heike gives us a full recap of one of the
Caribbean’s best shows, and includes photo highlights such as the Emperor,
Shabba Ranks performing as well as Lady Saw being officially crowned Dancehall
Queen!
Today’s music has moved far the ‘soul’ it once had until you
meet and hear the voice of, Leela James!
L3’s Jennifer Menster sat down with the 2012 Soul Goddess in California
just before the release of her tribute album to Etta James. Leela is fun, playful, few on words but
oozing positive and colourful energy that melts the most hardened of
hearts. Having traveled the world with
her music, Leela is one trademark we are pleased to present in our folds!
We were on the scene in Japan for Lukie D and Iakopo’s well
received performance, hosted by Tokiyas Sound as well as in Toronto for
Caribana’s Junior Carnival hosted by Yorkgate Mall in the Jane and Finch
Community!
Rounding out the August edition, we tell you why Spike Lee
is experiencing a ‘spike’ in popularity, review new music from Kafinal, and
Hemphigher Productions as well as take a look at bridesmaids dresses ladies can
wear beyond a wedding. We give you a few
reasons to visit Washington DC as well as beauty tips that include baking
soda. All this plus Ms. August, Kristin,
