Keith Waithe: The Flute is his Voice! 

Keith Waithe and The Macusi Players

By Dr. Dhanpaul Narine

Keith Waithe is one of Guyana’s most talented sons. He burst onto the scene in the seventies and has made remarkable progress since then. As a young musician Keith excited the imagination of many Guyanese.

His ‘Macusi Singers’ became a household name in Guyana and the Caribbean. The lilting tunes played on his flute broke new ground in Guyanese music and the recordings that followed led to an even greater appreciation of his music.

Celebrating 50 years since its independence from the United Kingdom are four of the most well-known artists from Guyana, whose work reflects the country’s colourful past and present. Come and listen to three award-winning poets – John Agard, Malika Booker and Grace Nichols – whose lively work moves from a newly independent Guyana to a postcolonial Britain both uncomfortable with its new arrivals yet strangely home. Alongside them is noted flautist Keith Waithe, playing his distinctive fusion of jazz, classical, African, Caribbean, Asian and Western music. The event will open with a reading from Cyril Dabydeen. It promises to be an unforgettable 50th birthday party.      Continue reading →
