The St James Police Youth Club marked its 33rd anniversary with a spectacular concert titled ‘Beyond the Beat,’ held at the Four Roads Community Centre in Diego Martin on October 5. The event was a vibrant celebration of culture and talent, featuring a lineup of distinguished performers and honoring cultural icon Gene Toney, founder of Cocorite YuJamaas. The concert showcased a diverse array of performances, including the rhythmic beats of the Diegoville Drummers, the energetic moves of Organized Chaos, and the captivating dances by the St James Police Youth Club Ballroom Dancing Academy, featuring Taylor McCalfin and Malik Sharbodie. Austin ‘SuperBlue’ Lyons, a legendary calypsonian, thrilled the audience with his dynamic performance, while Xhaiden Darius, the 2025 National Junior Calypso Monarch, delivered a standout act. The Cocorite Ujamaa Folk Performers added a traditional touch with their fan dance, and the Ignited Dancers (Juniors) brought youthful energy to the stage. The event also included a special award presentation to calypsonian Philip ‘Black Sage’ Murray by Corporal Derrick Sharbodie, founder and manager of the St James Police Youth Club. Newsday photographer Faith Ayoung captured the essence of the celebration through her lens, documenting the memorable moments of this cultural extravaganza.
