Oshun Yan<br />
B Y M O N I C A V I C T O R<br />
Last summer Oshun Yan, the youngest<br />
contender and finalist of the 2017<br />
calypso season won the support and<br />
admiration of many St. Lucians both<br />
young and old, at home and abroad.<br />
Although she didn't secure a place in the<br />
top four spots, she without a doubt<br />
secured a spot in the hearts of many.<br />
Later that same year during the<br />
observance of Jounen Kwéyòl in<br />
October, Oshun participated in the<br />
Mizik En San Nou Kwéyòl Song<br />
Competition in Belle Vue and won the<br />
coveted top spot with her song entitled<br />
Coupé.<br />
Fascinated by this dynamic,<br />
multitalented and culturally rooted<br />
emerging artist, Manmay LaKay<br />
Magazine endeavored to find out just<br />
who is this young lady with such a<br />
goddess name, how the name Oshun Yan<br />
was born, her life after calypso<br />
finals, her plans for the future, who and<br />
what inspires her and all that good stuff.<br />
My candid interview with the<br />
incomparable Oshun Yan.<br />
Thank you Oshun for taking the time to<br />
share your story with Manmay LaKay<br />
everywhere.<br />
It's my pleasure. Thank you.
