You can pay thousands of dollars to be truly cosseted along with music moguls and supermodels, or you can cater for yourself and go shopping with Bajans. The west coast is the place to be seen, commonly referred to as the Platinum Coast. The south is for beach life, night life, fun and games, the package holiday end of the market with a cheerful, relaxed atmosphere and the best sand. The east is wild and untamed, a world apart, where the Atlantic crashes into cliffs, eroding the coastline and creating beaches of a rare beauty. Head to the hills inland to explore relics of colonial days such as plantation houses, signal towers, tropical gardens, museums and rum distilleries. Of all the islands in the eastern Caribbean, Barbados is unique in that it remained British throughout its colonial history, without being passed from one European master to another. The island is divided into 11 parishes named after 10 saints, Christ Church being the 11th. Many parish churches are impressive buildings. Towns have the charming English seaside resort names of Hastings, Brighton or Dover and it was often referred to as Little England, not always as a compliment. Since independence in 1966 the country has moved closer in cultural terms to North America while also pursuing its African roots. Drum music, banned by colonial masters to prevent slave rebellions, and ‘tuk’ bands are an essential part of carnival processions. Calypso, soca and pan music are a centre piece of Crop Over, the boisterous festival celebrating the end of the sugar harvest. However, some habits die hard. You can still go to a polo match and be offered tea and cucumber sandwiches, or watch Sunday cricket on the village green. A Test Match at the Kensington Oval, though, is a sight to behold – an example of how an English sport has been turned into pure Afro-Caribbean pageantry.

  • RUMS of the CARIBBEAN the Sweet Heat of Caribbean Rum Is the Highlight of the New Sugar Cane Rum Bar at Peter John’S Lounge
    RUMS OF THE CARIBBEAN The sweet heat of Caribbean Rum is the highlight of the new Sugar Cane Rum Bar at Peter John’s Lounge. This new offering celebrates rums produced in Saint Lucia and throughout the Caribbean and gives guests an opportunity to try many for the first time and maybe even find a favorite to take home. Rum’s history is intertwined with Caribbean history. The industry got its start with sugar cane first brought to the West Indies by Christopher Columbus; and today’s Caribbean rums are enjoying a renaissance hundreds of years later. Coconut Bay’s award-winning premium selection includes Saint Lucia’s Chairman’s and Admiral Rodney, Guyana’s El Dorado, Trinidad & Tobago’s Angostura, Martinique’s Rhum Clément, and Doorly’s from Barbados. See the full – and growing – list here. The Caribbean Journal says, “It’s a wonderful, refreshing idea for the all-inclusive sector — and one that could turn this bar into a rum destination in its own right.” Rum list Brand Island Produced Marigot Bay St. Lucia Crystal Lime St. Lucia Marigot Crème de Coconut St. Lucia Marigot Crème de Banana St. Lucia Bounty Rum St. Lucia KWEYOL Spice Rum St. Lucia CHAIRMANS RESERVE RUM –SPICED St. Lucia AND RESERVE CALYSPO RUM Jamaica BRUGAL RUM-GOLD SPECAIL AND Jamaica RESERVE Crystal White St. Lucia Rum Toz Rum - St. Lucia White Toz – St. Lucia Gold Appleton – Special Jamaica Appleton – White Jamaica Appleton - Reserve Jamaica Appleton- Estate Jamaica Malibu RUM Jamaica COCKSPUR RUM, Barbados BLACK LABEL RUM Trinidad & Tobago ANGOSTURA RUM Trinidad & Tobago CAVALER RUM Trinidad & Tobago CURACAO RUM Curacao MYERS ORIGINAL DARK RUM Jamaica ANGOSTURA 1919 Trinidad & Tobago ELEMENTS EIGHT RUMS St.

He made the comments after touring COT Holdings at Newton Industrial Estate, Christ Church, stating that it is imperative that a way is found to reduce the cost of the inputs so that the products can be sold more competitively. “Some of the costs that you see on some of these items are not in sync with what they have had to pay, so that what you see reflected as the final price has no bearing to the ban that we have put on single use plastics. I have said before and I am saying it now, we have persons in Barbados, the corporate companies [who] have a responsibility to engage in practices that are in sync with Barbadian values,” he said.

  • Integrated Annual Report 2020-21
    2021 INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021 INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021 "Blue like the colour of our planet, our oceans and the sky, which we strive to protect over time, as they nurture our terroirs and our people." The Earth is blue like an orange Never an error the words don't lie They don't give you any more to sing In the turn of kisses to understand The crazy and the loves She her kiss of alliance All the secrets all the smiles And what clothing of indulgence To believe her completely naked. The wasps bloom green The dawn passes round the neck A necklace of windows Of wings covering the leaves You have all the solar joys All the Sun above the Earth Above the paths of your beauty. Paul Eluard Translated by O.A. Ramos FOREWORD The challenging health situation of the 2020/2021 financial year has not dampened the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ambitions of Rémy Cointreau – quite the contrary. CSR is a long-standing priority for the Group and its exceptional brands, which pushed ahead with initiatives to promote biodiversity, the preservation of terroirs, the circular economy, and partner communities. The Group’s brands also played their part in managing the health crisis, notably by actively participating in the production of hand sanitizer. As in the previous year, the Group demonstrated its structural strength. Resilient to the unforeseen collapse in demand, it proved to be highly adaptable when the Chinese and US markets recovered. Despite the impact of the pandemic, it ended the year with positive organic growth in sales and significant growth in earnings.

  • Popular Culture and the Remapping of Barbadian Identity
    “In Plenty and In Time of Need”: Popular Culture and the Remapping of Barbadian Identity by Lia Tamar Bascomb A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies in the Graduate Division of University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Leigh Raiford, Chair Professor Brandi Catanese Professor Nadia Ellis Professor Laura Pérez Spring 2013 “In Plenty and In Time of Need”: Popular Culture and the Remapping of Barbadian Identity © 2013 by Lia Tamar Bascomb 1 Abstract “In Plenty and In Time of Need”: Popular Culture and the Remapping of Barbadian Identity by Lia Tamar Bascomb Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies University of California at Berkeley Professor Leigh Raiford, Chair This dissertation is a cultural history of Barbados since its 1966 independence. As a pivotal point in the Transatlantic Slave Trade of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, one of Britain’s most prized colonies well into the mid twentieth century, and, since 1966, one of the most stable postcolonial nation-states in the Western hemisphere, Barbados offers an extremely important and, yet, understudied site of world history. Barbadian identity stands at a crossroads where ideals of British respectability, African cultural retentions, U.S. commodity markets, and global economic flows meet. Focusing on the rise of Barbadian popular music, performance, and visual culture this dissertation demonstrates how the unique history of Barbados has contributed to complex relations of national, gendered, and sexual identities, and how these identities are represented and interpreted on a global stage. This project examines the relation between the global pop culture market, the Barbadian artists within it, and the goals and desires of Barbadian people over the past fifty years, ultimately positing that the popular culture market is a site for postcolonial identity formation.

  • I'm Swimming in the Turquoise Waters of a Secluded Beach on the West Coast of Barbados
    Photo by Susana Lay I'm swimming in the turquoise waters of a secluded beach on the west coast of Barbados. The sun is shimmering on the undulating water. I raise my eyes to see some boats drifting toward the horizon and wish I could pause this scene. From the shore, one of my friends waves me over as she makes a toast with a glass of wine. I submerge myself into the glassy waters and ask myself: If this is not paradise, then what is? Barbados has everything you need for an absolute disconnection: deep-rooted culture, fish fries and rum, and soca music, all against a backdrop best described as paradise. Where to Stay In Barbados you are never more than 12 miles from the sea. The best way to understand the island is to divide the map into five parts: the tranquil upper west coast, the tourist central south coast, the wild east coast bordering the Atlantic, the island's interior, and the capital of Bridgetown, or “Little England” as many call it. Depending on what you're looking for during your stay, you'll find Barbados has a lodging to fit every taste and budget. My friends and I decide to rent a three-bedroom house steps from the ocean, with a comfortable kitchen, a small plunge pool and a lovely deck overlooking the sea. There's no better way to mix with locals and have a real sense of place than by being part of a neighborhood, buying groceries like everyone else and waving hi to the waiters at the next-door restaurant (which, by the way, is called Fish Pot Restaurant and is a gourmet, upscale spot).
