Former calypso queen Tameika Darius is set to captivate audiences with her upcoming production, ‘Reflections 2: Down Memory Lane,’ at the Little Theatre, SAPA, on November 9. Known for her iconic songs like ‘Ah Come Out to Equalise,’ ‘Now More Than Ever,’ and ‘Jahaji Bash,’ Darius has been a prominent figure in the calypso scene since her childhood. Recently returning from the Trinbago Toronto Festival, she is ready to showcase a blend of traditional calypso, jazz, gospel, and storytelling in this unique performance. Darius promises a heartfelt journey through her life experiences, emphasizing family roots, cultural preservation, and the intergenerational transmission of musical heritage. The event will also feature a surprise reveal of honorees and a special guest performer. Joining her on stage is her nine-year-old son, Xhaiden Darius, a prodigious talent who has already made waves as the reigning National Junior Calypso Monarch and Schools’ Intellectual National Chutney Soca Monarch. Xhaiden, who has performed at prestigious events like Barbados-Carifesta XV and the Trinbago Toronto Festival, will deliver several duets. Other notable performers include Roderick ‘Chuck’ Gordon, Vaughnette Bigford, Renee Fortune, and Freetown Collective. Darius describes the show as a celebration of community, continuity, and the enduring vitality of calypso, proving it remains a dynamic and evolving art form. The performance begins at 5 pm.
