Facing slashed sponsoring budgets, organizer Artlab.sr had to be very inventive, says its board member Marisa Pieplenbosch. So sheer ingenuity prevailed; Pieplenbosch says the Rainforest Festival 2011 promises Suriname a series of spectacular events, strung into a festival that is even better than its predecessors. The festival that brings together creative art performance including dance, song, theater and art, was initiated in 2005 to promote awareness of rain forest protection. This year's edition is themed "the Guiana Shield", a 2.5 million km2 area of South America that spans from Colombia in the west to the Brazilian state of Amapá in the east, including the Venezuelan states of Delta Amacuro, Bolívar and Amazonas, all of Guyana, French Guiana, and Suriname and continuing into the Brazilian States of Pará, Roraima and Amazonas. All events that are part of the three-week staging of the festival will be in light of the Guiana Shield. "We're part of the Guiana shield, so it is fitting that in an event ...

The Tropitonics performed at the Caribbean Days Festival held at Waterfront Park in North Vancouver, BC, Canada. It only took a minute or two until the area in front of the stage was full of people dancing. It is hard not to feel the rythym these guys drum out on their steel pans and saxophone. My understanding is that this group has been performing together for 20-odd years and it shows. The lead vocalist is Timmy who is originally from Barbados. The girl on stage left of im is his daughter (name unknown). The saxophonist is Ron and he owns and operates a flag shop located on Columbia Street in the City of New Westminster. Ron is originally from St. Vincent. They are available for private functions and parties as well as big festivals, which they regularily attend here in BC.

I came to the annual Holi Festival to observe on March 19, 2011. Going in and out of the temples to witness the prayer chants, the worship of multiple manifestations of God was an interesting experience to say the least, and somewhat intimidating at times, but I did feel calmed by the prayer chants. This part of the holiday involves throwing colored chalk on each other as part of a Spring welcoming, maybe a more familar term would be the changing of the Equinox. Holi, or Holli (Hindi: होली), is a spring religious festival celebrated by Hindus. It is primarily observed in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka,[1] and countries with large Indic diaspora populations, such as Suriname, Malaysia, Guyana, South Africa, Trinidad, United Kingdom, United States, Mauritius, and Fiji. The main day, Holi, also known as Dhuli Vandana in Sanskrit, also Dhulheti, Dhulandi or Dhulendi, is celebrated by people throwing coloured powder and coloured water at each other. Bonfires are lit the day before, also known as Holika Dahan (burning of Holika) or Chhoti Holi (little Holi). The bonfires are lit in memory of the miraculous escape that young Prahlad accomplished when Demoness Holika, sister of Hiranyakashipu, carried him into the fire. Holika was burnt but Prahlad, a staunch devotee of god Vishnu, escaped without any injuries due to his unshakable devotion. Holika Dahan is referred to as Kama Dahanam in South India. Holi is celebrated at the end of the winter season on the last full moon day of the ...

Deepavali (also spelled Devali in certain regions) or Diwali[note ], popularly known as the "festival of lights", is celebrated between mid-October and mid-November for different reasons. For Hindus, Diwali is one of the most important festivals of the year and is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes. For Jains, Diwali marks the attainment of moksha or nirvana by Mahavira in 527 BC. Deepavali is an official holiday in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Suriname, Malaysia, Singapore, and Fiji. The name "Diwali" is a contraction of "Deepavali" (Sanskrit: दीपावली Dīpāvalī), which translates into "row of lamps". Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps (diyas or dīpas) in Sanskrit: दीप) filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil. During Diwali, all the celebrants wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks with family members and friends. The festival starts with Dhanteras on which most Indian business communities begin their financial year. The second day of the festival, Naraka Chaturdasi, marks the vanquishing of the demon Naraka by Lord Krishna and his wife Satyabhama.
