The Outlaw Ocean is a riveting, adrenaline-fueled journey through some of the most dangerous regions of the earth: the high seas, where lawlessness and physical risk prevail. Ian Urbina — Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The New York Times — gives us a galvanizing account of the several years he spent exploring and investigating the high seas, the industries that make use of it, and the people who make their, often criminal, living on it.
Four Bermudian artists have participated in this global collaboration – The Outlaw Ocean Music Project – focused not only on producing rich beats, but also promoting ocean awareness. The Bermudian artistry featuring Heather Nova, Jude Richardson, Detrivore and Nala Tessloff all produced varying musical interpretations, but shared a common goal of creating content that told important stories.
Tessloff said, “As the singer, I loved combining the whale songs with the crying seagulls. I
wanted to sing with them, so I found a melody that captured this feeling of solitude and the
overwhelming desire for freedom that the sound of the sea inspires.”

Synopsis: Historically, the Gombeys were not viewed as a respectable art form by the island’s ruling class. Slaves were allowed to dance only once a year and did so in masks in order to protest, without fear of retribution, the injustices done them by their slave masters. Incorporating elements of African, Native American, Caribbean and British cultures the Gombeys have evolved into the colorful, uniquely Bermudian art form beloved by locals and tourists alike. From archival texts and insights of our foremost historians to the memories of the oldest living Gombey Masters, from the hearts and minds of today’s Captains to the youngest Gombeys carrying the tradition into the future; Behind the Mask explores the past, the present and the future of this proud and resilient heritage, and is a celebration of all these exceptional Bermudian tradition-bearers.

This video was recorded by Trey Tucker in Bermuda. Bermudian English is spoken by as many as 72,000 people, primarily in the North Atlantic island of Bermuda, an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom. It is perhaps one of the most under-researched varieties of the English language, having emerged in the early 17th century and developed with successive waves of immigration to Bermuda. Given its proximity to North America and the political influence of the United Kingdom, Bermudian English retains characteristics of both North American and British English—so much so that speakers from both dialect continuums tend to recognize Bermudian as belonging to the other. Bermudian has also been influenced by Caribbean English, Caribbean creole languages, and Azorean Portuguese. While Bermudian English is commonly spoken throughout Bermuda, Standard British English is formally used in politics, education, and most media. Therefore, most Bermudians switch between the two on a daily basis, a phenomenon that linguists call ‘diglossia’.

I first heard the Beatles and the Two Virgins album during my freshman year at Oakwood College but it wasn’t until last year that I explored John Lennon’s solo works and fell in love with Take Your Love Away. I was hooked and Mind Games was arranged with me in mind by Felix Tod and David Ayers. My parents are in love with this version and I wasn’t short of amazed! J.T.B
