Since the the first tour in 1980 the members of Spice Island Youthquake have been remarkable ambasadors of Grenada and the Caribbean promoting the culture through music, song, poetry and dance. The proceeds of the international tours, concerts etc. are donated to assist social development. Over the years SIY can fairly say that it has achieved it's main objectives but surely not without sweat and tears. A performance is hardly staged without maximum preparation. Weekend camps involving intensive voice training workshops and dance workshops are a common group activity.
Members can speak about days and nights spent feverishly working on different projects.
The year 2000 will mark SIY's 20th anniversary, a tremendous landmark for any group of its nature. New blood is constantly being pumped into the group but Ms. Elsia Ferguson, the director since the group's inception, is a stabilizing factor, ensuring that the group essentially remains true to it's original ideals. Well that's it for now.
