Braata Productions is filling a need in the ever evolving Caribbean American community for authentic reproduction and recounting of our history and culture and as such need all the support to keep the culture alive.The unbridled response to their work on and off stage, speak volume for what they do, under very trying circumstances and limited resources.Any effort to keep them on stage and not backstage should be supported!

I have been an ardent fan and a supporter of Braata for several years. I was first attracted to the organization by attending a performance of the Braata Folk Singers. I found the performers to be of the highest caliber. Every show I’ve attended since then has surpassed my expectations and has filled me with an acute case of nostalgia and pride for my Caribbean heritage. In fact, I love Braata so much that I eventually was elected to its Board of Directors, where I currently serve as Board Chair.

As a member of The Braata Folk Singers, I have been allowed the opportunity to remain in touch with my roots. It also gives us a chance to share our culture. In one performance the audience is immersed in songs the tell stories, and dance moves which came out of slavery.
I am pleased to be with this group for the last 12 years I enjoy every moment that I get to entertain and teach. I have also traveled with the group to schools, senior centers and cultural events.
I do hope we will be able to continue for many years to come.

This organization does wonderful work in preserving and spreading our Jamaican/Caribbean culture through performance. Their productions are professionally staged - yet they work with volunteers who give of their talent, time, energy and commitment. Everything they do upholds our culture to a high standard -- be it a theatre production, an outdoor culture day, a performance at another organization's event, or their own cultural presentation. I am proud to support Braata -- and am confident you would too.
