The latest issue of Caribbean Beat magazine is now on Caribbean Airlines planes; in the mail to our subscribers; and online at caribbean-beat.com!
In our latest issue, out now, Caribbean Beat magazine travels from one end of the region to another, and we report back on what we found. The rainforest that grows on the banks of the Suriname River, and the pretty wooden buildings in the capital, Paramaribo...Jonathan Ali explored the contrasting charms of Suriname.
Meanwhile, in Miami, Mark Lyndersay walked the exciting South Beach strip, sampling not only sun, sea and sand, but also the shopping, the sights and the nightlife.
Caribbean Beat takes the plunge in Grenada, where we visited the world’s first underwater sculpture park. A ten-minute boat ride from the capital of St. George’s, and eight metres below the surface of the sea lies an eerily beautiful art installation. Melody Wren dived in. On a cook’s tour, Rosemary Parkinson travelled all over Jamaica, collecting recipes as she went. The result is a magnificent book, Nyam Jamaica. Bridget van Dongen follows hungrily in Parkinson’s footsteps.
Doubles, black pudding, homemade bake, smoked herring – our food writer Franka Philip begins at the beginning of the day, and tries to decide what’s best for a Caribbean breakfast.
Brian MacFarlane has dominated Trinidad & Tobago’s Carnival since 2005, following in the footsteps of designers like Carlyle Chang and Peter Minshall. As his band Humanity – the Circle of Life takes to the stage, Lisa Allen Agostini talks to the man behind the mas.
Machel Montano staged a triumphant comeback to the Carnival scene in Trinidad & Tobago this year. The former wild child told Laura Dowrich-Phillips why he disappeared from the scene and explains the deeper meaning of his music.
Trinidad-born Roger Mooking is taking over Toronto. He’s a chef, TV cookery show host, singer-songwriter – no wonder Donna Yawching concludes his middle name is “multi-tasking”.
James Bond lived quietly in Jamaica for many years, writing a classic book on West Indian bird life. James Ferguson tells how an innocuous ornithologist became the hero of the classic spy series.
Steelband historian Kim Johnson explains how he went about saving the picture history of pan, a collection of archival photos that goes back to the 1930s. We browsed through some of the images, now part of Unesco’s Memory of the World register.
Caribbean Beat regularly covers travel, entertainment, culture, personalities, food, business, environment, and history. We also offer a regular roundup of events, music and books that reflect the region right now! For news and updates from the Caribbean Beat team, visit the MEP Caribbean Publishers Blog!
