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.
