Malabre Takes His Talents From The Studio, To The Kitchen In Canada


When you’re a part of the Music business, one would say it’s an opportunity for something great, but when you gain success from it, it’s a blessing. Everyday there is a new Artist somewhere trying to hone their skills, or trying to get signed or given a “buss“. For St. Elizabeth-born/Canada-based Recording Artist Malabre, he got the opportunity to be in the music industry, and benefited as a Recording Artist, and as a Label owner/Producer for his South Syndicate Muzik. Having worked with a number of upcoming and established acts over the years, he branched off into the world of TikTok where he would share his views on happenings in the Entertainment industry along with sharing his music, and quickly he became one of the voices of reason on the Jamaican side of the platform. Recently, he further extended his talents to the Kitchen with the launch of the Caribbean Food establishment, “Simply Jamaican“.

Opened on September 12 in the Etobicoke area in Ontario, Canada, Malabre established “Simply Jamaican” as the place where the food does the talking as opposed to him speaking through his music and Social Media platforms. The family-run Restaurant was inspired by his upbringing in Jamaica, as his family was devoted to creating well-loved meals for the household, and with family members even setting up businesses throughout the Island over the years to varied success. Malabre’s experiences in Canada’s local and imported cuisine further spurned his interest in launching his own Restaurant, and being more hands on in ensuring that the food he grew up on, was made available for the locals in Etobicoke, and surrounding areas with high quality and top tier authenticity. Since opening, “Simply Jamaican” has been gaining a tremendous amount of support, with fellow Social Media Personalities showing up for dining, and supporters of Malabre keeping him and his work unit busy through orders via the DoorDash and Uber Eats platforms. While the Studio may be calling him, it will have to be on a temporary hold as he takes care of communities with home-style meals, and Caribbean vibes. If you’re nearby, support “Simply Jamaican” today at 20 Lockport Ave. Etobicoke M8Z 2R7, or call +1 437-928-6643. You can also follow “Simply Jamaican” on Instagram and TikTok at @SimplyJamaicanToronto.

Jelissa Williamson Celebrates Jamaican Heritage With Kid-Friendly Craft


To all my viewers and readers living overseas, how much do you miss being at home? We understand many migrated for financial reasons, and some desire to return living better than they lived growing up in the Caribbean. Some keep the feeling alive by visiting when they can, some attend Caribbean-themed events, some secure the family connection, while others find creative ways to make “farrin” feel like home. London-based Creative and Mother of two Jelissa Williamson a.k.a. Jelissa Marie may not have been born in Jamaica, but she makes connections to keep herself and her family close to her heritage. Recently, she used her love of being creative to celebrate her heritage that everyone can enjoy.

With “Felt Like Yard“, Jelissa Marie creates fun items that tap into her love for Jamaica. In a series of videos she shared on Social Media, she displayed Jamaican cuisine and fruits that had many doing double takes to see if the food was real. From Ackee & Saltfish, to Oxtail with Plantain and Rice and Peas, to Patty, to Guineps, to Porridge with Crackers, to Jerk Chicken, Jelissa’s hands were given a special touch to make these well-loved items from home come to life. With children in mind including her two daughters, Jelissa’s creations encourage stronger family bonds, and with the use of the Montessori Education system, boost children’s zeal for learning and creativity, and develop a love and respect for heritage. The Montessori system is an educational system designed to tap into children’s natural interests and activities rather than a formal way of learning. This includes hands-on learning, playing, developing real-world skills, emphasizing a child’s independence and eagerness to learn.

Jelissa is currently dealing with a demand for her Island creations to be made for purchase, but she is finalizing her catalogue of items, and has a waiting list available for those interested. She’s also open for collaborations. You can find Jelissa on Instagram and TikTok.

Manchester To Offer Unique Cuisine & More With Upcoming Food & Drink Festival


[NEW DATE, Jan. 1, 2025]

2024 has been a year for big events. Whatever your taste was, the Island had an event to accommodate you. While many big events are held in the Island’s capital of Kingston, there have complaints and suggestions to give the other Parishes a chance to host. The Parish of Manchester, where the city life collides with the country life, has been one of the spots that seeks to provide a home to many special events. Next year, it will launch its own Food & Drink Festival.

Organized by Di Village and held at Brooks Park in Mandeville, the “Manchester Food & Drink Festival” aims to introduce a variety of unique cuisine to the public, provide a platform for the upcoming and seasoned Chef, host live entertainment, and amplify the message that the Parish of Manchester is very capable of hosting some of the Island’s best events. With the construction of the Southern Coastal Highway, transportation has been made easier, making the Parish a central hotspot. The Festival was announced earlier this year, and the Organizers have been on the road spreading awareness of the event, inviting Vendors and Sponsors to make their contributions to the event, and adding the finishing touches for the big day. Olivia Coley, a member of the organizing team, has been making connections with various Schools in the Parish, giving students with Culinary ambitions to showcase their talent through a series of events at the Festival. She looks forward to great support from not only Manchester, but the rest of Jamaica, and hopes to make it a yearly family event.

For the foodies, food lovers, and Festival seekers, the “Manchester Food & Drink Festival” welcomes you on Wednesday, January 1 at Brooks Park, Mandeville from 1 P.M. to 10 P.M.. You can pay at the gate to attend, and they range from $2000 for Adults, $1000 for the 10-17 age group, while kids enter free. If you wish to secure tickets, “Dealz N Tings” at Grove Court (Mandeville), and “Water Drops Waterstore” at the Central Dealers Mall (Formerly Caledonia Mall in Mandeville) are the outlets to get them. For more information, visit @ManchesterFoodandDrinkFestival on Instagram, and @ManchesterFoodandDrink on TikTok.

Grampa Entatain & Dr. Planks Remix A Vybz Kartel Hit In “Food Specialist”


We all love food, some more than others, but there’s nothing like a meal that’s yours to enjoy. Whatever your style and taste, food has been there more than people in some cases. Food is enjoyed on a different level according to Dancehall Entertainer Grampa Entatain, and he talks about it in, “Food Specialist“.

Featuring Dr. Planks, it’s all about the good food in Grampa Entatain’s “Food Specialist”. Grampa enjoys a variety of food while Planks leans more into the Ital way of life, but they know what’s important when it comes to putting in work in the Kitchen, and they and whoever they feed will be satisfied. For those unfamiliar, “Food Specialist” is a remix of Vybz Kartel and Beenie Man’s 2004 hit, “Breast Specialist“. The track was produced by Tony Matterhorn and Mario C on the “Scoobay Riddim“, and is given new life in 2024 thanks to Grampa Entatain. The track is accompanied by a Music Video directed by Clevamix Recordz, and it finds the Artists cheffing up a number of dishes, and feeding the household in the end. Grampa Entatain has been active with a number of original music and remixes over the years, and has been a hit whenever he’s called up to perform. This one is for the foodies. Speaking of foodies, get familiar with “Where’s The Food, Jo” for some recommendations.

We Have Highlights Of The Mandeville Staging Of @IYFJamaica’s “K-Fest 2024”


Over the past weekend (June 1), the International Youth Fellowship (IYF Jamaica) held the Mandeville staging of their annual “K-Fest” event. The event started little over 3 years ago, and was held to promote a stronger relationship with Korea and Jamaica, bring people together to share cultures, food, languages, and entertainment, expanding tastes and minds in the process. Held at the Fellowship Tabernacle Church in Mandeville, Manchester, attendees of all ages ate different dishes and snacks, danced to popular K-Pop tracks, learned Korean, and witnessed different aspects of Korean culture. We captured some highlights from the event, and you can check it out below.

Special thanks to the members of the International Youth Fellowship for the event and allowing the visual recapping of the event to happen, the volunteers from Korea who assisted in making the event a success, and for those who shared their thoughts about the event on video. Here’s to one day where 13th Street Promotions will be creating content live in South Korea.
