~~Adz:Left~~ BASSETERRE, St. Kitts: LOCAL artiste Zemenfes Kidus along with his manager Crispin Boon in collaboration with Creation Inc. donated two amplifiers and two microphones each to the Tyrell Williams Primary School and the Verchilds High School earlier this morning March 11th.
Zemenfes said he hopes that the amplifiers and the microphones will help to enhance any social gathering that the school may have.
Vice Principal of Tyrell Williams, Clive Woodley thanked the artiste on behalf of the staff and students.
“We have been trying to get one for some time now so it will definitely be put to good use especially with the upcoming graduation.”
While at the Verchilds High school Franklyn Huggins, a third form student, gave his words of appreciation on behalf of the staff, students and V.H.S. Band.
The reggae singer said it felt good to be making this contribution as he is a former student of the Verchilds High School when it was known as the Verchilds’ All Age School.
Zemenfes has been singing and recording for many years and is one of the few persons to record at ‘Tuff Gong Studio’ during the life and times of its founder and owner Bob Marley. He was also the only artiste in the Eastern Caribbean to be proudly promoted on the Fifty-six Hope Road Label on a two year contract distributed by Tuff Gong Recording Company.
He has also performed in many regional islands and has been the opening act for many shows which featured artistes such as Lucky Dube, Bounty Killer, Terry Fabulous, Vybz Kartel, Buju Banton, Jimmy Cliff, Big Youth and Third World. According to his manager, Crispin Boon, said that this was the first donation they have ever made but certainly not the last.
