A CLASSIC TRIBUTE IN SONG TO A GRENADIAN-CARIBBEAN ICON IN MUSIC – LAUREN RAMDHANNY, MBE, LTCL

St. George’s, Grenada; Jan. 27, 2025 — This writeup accompanies an aptly executed musical tribute to an iconic Grenadian music educator – voice trainer, music teacher, and choir director – Lauren Ramdhanny.

Born in Saint Andrew, Grenada, Lauren obtained her early music training from her aunt Laura Ramdhanny, then sat her piano and music theory exams at St. Joseph's Convent Secondary School before going on to study Voice and Piano in London at the Royal Academy of Music.

After many years of selflessly delivering dedicated community service in music education and contributing to the development religious and folk music in Grenada, Lauren has been recognized with the title Member of the British Empire (MBE), and has received several local and international awards. Included among these are the following:
- Recipient of the Sunshine Award for Contribution to Caribbean Art Comedy Dance Drama Music and Poetry (2008)
- Recipient of the Spice Isle Award (2008)
- Spice Music Awardee (2015)
- Grenada Cultural Foundation National Awardee (2017)

Written, composed and sung by Burgess McPhie (Quako) and Cheryl Vincent (Cheryl V) — two of Lauren's past tutees who were co-founding members of Spice Island Youthquake of the early 1980s, who then went on with others to co-establish Quake USA (the longest continously running Caribbean folk group in New York) before also giving birth to their new fast growing ensemble, Pan & Voices — this uptempo Calypso, is another for the annals of Grenadian culture.

"We love you, love you; we thank you, thank you; appreciate you — for all that you do," is the catchy and telling chorus sung by Cheryl V and Quako about a true Grenadian gem who lovingly brought music into "every school, every church, every choir," all over Grenada.

"Joyful voices, sounding heavenly; sweet harmonies, pronounced perfectly," they recall, and they sing in a musical blend of voices, pan (played by Quako), guitar (played by Ian Marryshow), bass, brass, and a rhythm that's driven by a bouncing beat.

"A musical icon of our island, a vocal trainer [who] deserves recognition," they correctly intone.
"With such great God-given talent, she taught us to sing with dedication and passion," they organically add.

Lauren Ramdhanny, we do love, respect, admire, and recognise you for all the splendid good that you have done, the many lives you have influenced, inspired and uplifted, and the many voices you have positively trained, honed and sharpened.

Honestly, the author of this piece, who once sang along with his good old friend, media-man Derek Adonis in one of the many choirs you worked with, can't stop repeating the chorus of this tribute in Calypso: "We love you, love you; we thank you, thank you; appreciate you – for all that you do."

Now, to Cheryl V and Quako, we also say: thank you for paying respect and giving recognition where it's deservedly due.
