WE Magazine celebrates Trinidad Carnival in its January issue by spotlighting 'Band of the Year' champion, Brian Mac Farlane



Wednesday January 2nd, 2008 - Toronto, ON, Canada - In its short six month existence, WE Magazine has managed some pretty impressive covers, including entertainment icons Alison Hinds, Machel Montano and Jah Cure; but to kick off the 2008 New Year, the mag has chosen not to feature a familiar face on the cover, but rather his masterful art. Brian Mac Farlane's 2008 presentation entitled 'EARTH' for Trinidad & Tobago Carnival gets the nod from WE in January as the Caribbean Canadian magazine showcases the man behind the 'Mas'. A very fitting cover considering we will soon be in the midst of the Trinidad Carnival season. The latest issue will also feature several other Carnival articles, including the history of Trinidad & Tobago Carnival, a Carnival newbie's guide and a 2008 fete schedule.

For the New Year, WE magazine has also announced two additional columns to its already diverse array of editorials. Along with the monthly music, entertainment, culture and artist spotlights, WE has added some eye candy with a page called 'WE Girl' (featuring a beauty of Caribbean roots each month), plus a humorous editorial by Mr PlayHouse (StarStruck Show on KOSradio.NET) entitled 'WE Bacchanal'. "We're not shifting our focus away from culture, art or community. Those things will always be key facets of our mandate," says Jef Lo (Editor in Chief). "WE wishes to showcase the many talents of our heritage, including our beautiful women. Plus, the addition of Mr PlayHouse's column will give readers some great insight as well as a good laugh ".

The magazine will be available in outlets this weekend (Jan 5th). For more information about WE Magazine visit www.WEmagOnline.com or www.MySpace.com/WEmagOnline.
