NEW FIRE is an exciting new concert series which features the best of Trinidad and Tobago’s non-mainstream and independent bands and musicians. On one Thursday of every month, the stage at the old Mas Camp Pub is set alight with live local music.
On Thursday September 25th, NEW FIRE presents – We Are New Fire, in collaboration with the Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival. Music and film are inextricably linked, some of the greatest musicians we have produced have made music for films. When music and film come together the experience is enhanced. In this edition of the NEW FIRE Series we will bring together the film makers and the music makers of the region. A lineup of groundbreaking Trinbagonian artists will take to the stage and bring an energetic performance of hits. Gillian Moor and Bush Tea Party, Nickolai Salcedo, Solman, Marge Blackman, Orange Sky, Jointpop, St. Ans and Freetown Collective are the artistes performing at September’s event, which is an acoustic recap of the NEW FIRE Series’ musicians.
NEW FIRE is a series started by Gerry Anthony. His experience as a sound engineer and as a musician and his belief in the need for forums for artists to have a space to communicate with a wider audience are some of the driving forces behind the series. The live interaction between audience and performer is a profound exchange and goes beyond simply experiencing the variety and depth of musical talent we have in Trinidad and Tobago. It is definite action to make our society better.
The NEW FIRE Series is excited to collaborate with the Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival for We Are New Fire. The trinidad+tobago film festival (ttff) is an annual celebration of films from and about Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean and its diaspora. The Festival also screens films curated from contemporary world cinema. In addition, the ttff seeks to facilitate the growth of the Caribbean film industry by hosting workshops, panel discussions, seminars, conferences and networking opportunities.
The New Fire series takes place at De Nu Pub, (Mas Camp Pub) Corner French Street and Ariapita Avenue Port of Spain. The Mas Camp Pub is located in the space that was Peter Minshall’smas camp. From its inception in 1986 it has held fast to its commitment to promote local music and art. Mas, song, and dance have found a home at the Mas Camp. Many of the country’s best Calypsonians,Singers and comedians regularly performed on its stage. The Mas Camp has staged a live calypso show every Wednesday night for more than 25 years.
New Fire is excited to be part of the tradition and looks forward to sharing the evolving expressions of our culture.
