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