If you are a regular visitor
to Trinidad carnival, then most likely you are also a
seasoned supporter of the annual Paul Keens Douglas’
Talk Tent. Well approaching its twentieth year, one of the
first women talkers of that tent is recent Toronto resident,
Rhoma “Lady” Spencer. In 2001 she hosted
the first woman’s talk tent aptly titled,
Franc’omen with her guest Rachel Price making her
Toronto debut at the Artword Theatre.
 Well
after a hiatus for one year, Rhoma returns to the oral
traditions in Lacouray and Ratiray at the Artword Theatre on
Palm Sunday April 13, 2003 at 6pm.
Last
seen as Dinah in the ever popular play Jean and
Dinah and the 2002 edition of Talk Tent in Port of
Spain-Trinidad, Rhoma will let loose her canon of the oral
traditions in an evening of ole talk, picong, mauvais
langue, comedy, storytelling and kaiso. None shall
escape her tongue in these times of war and terrorism.
Sharing
the stage with the Lady is none other than Guyanese calypso
extraordinaire, Crooner, and Barbados’ own
Roger “Rajiman” Gibbs.
According
to Spencer, her fans have been requesting this concert since
last summer and the wait is now over. “I am the
lacouray component of the evening, so come to the theatre
expecting to hear all the scandal and bacchanal here, home
and abroad.”
Her
special guests will serenade the audience in all forms of
Ratiray. She is also beaming over the Executor and Invader
extempo war that both Crooner and Roger Gibbs will deliver
as never before seen in Toronto. Spencer insists that
Lacouray and Ratiray is where talk and kaiso becomes an oral
tradition.
Presented
by MERJ Entertainment, a new production outfit committed to
producing quality entertainment in the city. Look out for
their special Father’s Day concert in June.
