The most anticipated SOCA night in Toronto - 'DR JAY'S RETURN FETE' is fast approaching.

KES the Band peforming at SOCA OR DIE!

Friday January 4th, 2007 - Toronto, ON, Canada - For most people, a new year begins on January 1st but for the soca lovers of the world, a new year is signified with the arrival of a new Carnival season. With the 2008 Trinidad Carnival just around the corner, Soca lovers are gearing up for a banner year of mas and music.

Presented after each Trinidad Carnival season, Toronto's Return Fete is an annual soca tradition in the city. Brought to us by Dr Jay De Soca Prince of the Kingdom Of Soca family, this initial soca injection sets the pace and tone for our city for the balance of the year. The Return Fete is Toronto's principal introduction to the flavor of a given year's Trinidad carnival season and for Saturday February 16th 2008, Dr Jay is presenting a twist on his annual signature concept. Dr Jay says, "In past years, I have featured individual singers for this event, but for the 2008 edition of Return Fete I am proud to bring one of the most versatile live bands out of the West Indies to my home town of Toronto." Crossing the seas to bring their unique soca sound to Toronto, Kes The Band is the featured performance announcement for the 13th Annual Return Fete.

Expanding the musical representation of Trinidad and Tobago above and beyond soca while always pushing boundaries, Kes The Band defies musical classification. Having demonstrated the versatility of the Trinidadian musical talent pool all over the world, Dr Jay is pleased to bring Kes The Band to Toronto as his featured artistes for the 2008 Return Fete

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.

WE REACH! - Announcing Canada's premiere WEST INDIAN Entertainment magazine

WE REACH! - Announcing Canada's premiere WEST INDIAN Entertainment magazine

Monday July 30th, 2007 - After weeks of teaser ads, the directors of 'WE' have finally announced the launch of Canada's premiere West Indian Entertainment and lifestyle magazine. The full colour glossy magazine hit the streets over the weekend and is reported to have a special CARIBANA circulation of 70,000 copies.

Soca icon, Machel Montano graces the cover of WE's inaugural issue, and on the inside he shares his personal spiritual philosophy in an exclusive interview with WE writer, Karen Richardson. Other features in the CARIBANA issue include a special feature on Marcus Eustace (renown Mas designer and brother to 8-time Carnival King Curtis Eustace), the story of CARIBANA, interviews with top Soca and Reggae artists (Tessane Chin, Da'Ville, Ghetto Flex, Tizzy, Zoelah and others), plus bits on food, travel, film, beauty, fitness and more.

According to the president of WE Magazine, Tony Chankar, "each month WE Magazine will celebrate the vibrant arts, culture, history and natural beauty of the Caribbean and it's people, through first-rate editorials and spectacular photography".WE Magazine is now available FREE, at all West Indian outlets across the GTA.

Why WE?(by Anthony Joseph – Publisher)

WE is not an acronym for West Indian Entertainment, but rather a reflection of you and me. It mimics our community. It celebrates the Canadians we have become and the West Indian niche in Canada we have created. WE is a reflection of the old countries of the Caribbean and all of our island's cultures and people. It celebrates what we have brought to our new northern home.
WE aims to represent you in the way you would expect to be in a quality periodical. WE will bring you the stories that matter to you. WE will keep you in the loop with what's happening within our community here in Canada and in the West Indies.

When the executives of WE Magazine first got together, it was with the intention of sharing ideas on marketing for our respective businesses. At the table was Tony Chankar (The Printing Press), one of our community's top printers, Jef Lo who operates the #1 West Indian website in the world (Toronto-Lime.com), Jason Singh (president of Soca Bookings) and myself Anthony Joseph, president of the #1 Caribbean newspaper serving the people of Toronto (The Caribbean Camera). Jef spoke about the number of people he met daily who expressed the need for a glossy, sexy Canadian mag that caters to the young at heart. The thought quickly gathered a life of its own and the next step was obvious - create a mag ourselves. Fill the gap ourselves. We took guidance from the old saying: Don't complain about it, just do it.

But even among a group of go-getters, ideas can die on the page moments after such sessions, but to my surprise Jason returned later with some compelling statistics that indicated that WE had to be created. Still, I did not think that my time or lack of it would permit me to be a part of such an enterprise, but with the encouragement of Raynier Maharaj, my business partner at the Caribbean Camera, passing on this exciting project was not an option. So here we are.
We intend to make WE your go-to periodical at month’s end when you can kick back, relax and dip into the glossy pages for perspectives on West Indian Canadian lifestyles, sport, entertainment, fashion, the spoken and written word in prose or verse written by some of the hippest writers in our community.

We will welcome your participation by keeping our editorial doors wide open because WE doesn't belong to only the people entrusted with its publishing and day-to-day operations, but to the people WE Magazine serves. WE is all of us.
