Mizik 2025, a grand celebration of Saint Lucian musical heritage, is scheduled for Saturday, November 29, at the National Cultural Centre. Organized by the Cultural Development Foundation (CDF), this year’s event, themed ‘A Legend’s Encore,’ honors the enduring contributions of 18 late musicians to the nation’s cultural identity. Among the celebrated artists are Nicole David, Lennie Stone, Leebo, Jany, and King Caro. The event will feature performances and tributes by both seasoned and emerging local talents, including King Dezral, Derek Yarde, Arthur Allain, and others. Additionally, Mizik 2025 includes a two-day workshop for aspiring emcees, led by Gilroy ‘Ezi’ Hall and Barbara Jacobs-Small, aimed at nurturing future voices in the creative sector. CDF Communications Director Kendal John emphasized the importance of preserving the legacy of these musicians, stating, ‘We’ve lost so many, yet we’re so grateful that they have left us a legacy we can cherish.’ The event also coincides with St. Cecilia’s Day, observed locally as a celebration of musicians. Tickets for Mizik 2025 are available at The Cell Stores, PromoTech Store, and the CDF office, priced at $60 for early birds and $80 regular, with higher costs at the door.
