The Chewstick backing band D.I.A took centre stage at Saturday Night’s Griot Session for a dance party to reggae, hip hop, and everything in-between.

D.I.A. has taken Bermuda by storm as the hottest, freshest backing band playing all-original music from a variety of genres including hip hop, reggae, soul and their newly developed Bermudian genre, gombass. Their imaginative original music has been exceptionally well-received locally and internationally. Comprised of Bermudian drum legend, Scarlet Thomas; guitarist-extraordinaire Kofi; boy wonder, electronic maestro and percussionist Aden Peets; and music director Derek G. Simmons on bass and production.

Bermuda’s best hip hop stars cranked up the energy: Imari, K.A.S.E., & da R?ddla and followed by the reggae vibes of Live Wires.

Feature: IMARI, LIVE WIRES, K.A.S.E., & R?DDLA backed by D.I.A.

Opening acts: HAZ & Mike Hind

Date: Saturday, August 25th, 2012

Location: The Chewstick Neo-Griot Lounge & Cafe’, Corner of Court & Elliot St, Backatawn.

December 5, 2011 Published by bermudians

As we continue to expand this series to celebrate and support the endeavors of talented artists, our most prolific Brazilian singer/songwriter and volunteer, Fabiana Marcondes, will be featured at our next Griot Session. Fabiana, affectionately called Fabi, whom many Chewstick staff and supporters met during the first Retreat, in March, has become an integral part of our activities. She has not only come through to assist with set up and promotions of our flagship event, the Legendary Open-Mic Jam Session, but has also attended all three retreats and collaborated with a number of our most noted artists. Most recently Fabi was highlighted as the opening act for the Dewhurtz and Flexx’s Griot Session, on Friday November 11th. Here she shared a small preview of what she will be doing at her Griot Session. Sadly, Fabi will be leaving Bermuda to return to her home and her one true love, before the end of December, so that this occasion is bittersweet .. read more
