PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release October 22, 2013 AVOT SERVICE SCHOOL TOUR Avot Service is a folk drumming and singing group that was established in 2004. The members of the group hail from the community of Belle Vue, Vieux-Fort. Their main mission is to maintain the proud legacy of Belle Vue as a place that produces talented folk musicians. Mr Joseph Rameau Poleon is the main inspiration for the members of the group considering the contribution he made to the cultural landscape of Saint Lucia in fulfilling the mandate of his role as “Papa Kilte”. In its early stages Avot Service has been very instrumental in organizing Jounen Kwéyòl celebrations in Belle Vue. Also they quickly became one of the main staples at cultural activities hosted in the south of Saint Lucia. When called upon they never disappointed, but consistently wowed the crowds with their sensational folk melodious songs. Today Avot Service is widely known as one of the premier folk bands in Saint Lucia. Presently, they perform at all major cultural events such as October Fest and main stage Jounen Kwéyòl events. As part of its annual programming Avot Service is executing its school tour. Last week the group entertained teachers and students of the Vieux-Fort Technical Institute and Anse Ger Secondary School. This week they will be performing for students attending the Sunshine Pre-School, Belle Vue Combined School, Pierrot Combined School, Grace Combined School, Ti Rocher Primary School, and Vigier Primary School. The purpose of these visits is to entertain the students and educate them on the need to appreciate and perpetuate the Kwéyòl culture. Through this initiative it is hoped that more young people will embrace the Kwéyòl culture. End. Kendall Elva Chairman Belle Vue Development Committee (519 0580)
