Local DJ ~ Ana ~ HOTT 93FM





Ana-Leesa Asita Ramnarine ,22 years old

I attended Naparima Girls High School and I’m currently pursuing my law degree at the University of the West Indies.



I’ve worked on Synergy TV Connect – Firstly as a co-host with Nisha B (Karma) on her show “Chutney Island”.

I was able to have gained my own show a few months into co-hosting with Nisha B.

My show was called “Talkarie” and it showcased culture, music, cuisine, fashion etc.



We took a spin on the traditional “interview” by holding interviews in the comfort of the music artistes’ home.

We would make them cook their favourite dish for me! I was heavily involved in the planning and production of Talkarie.

I also worked with CNMG/Next 99.1FM. I was a DJ on the “Magic Show” Saturday Mornings from 9am – 1pm with Fro Hummer when I was 18.



I am currently a DJ on HOTT 93 on Fridays 6pm-10pm alongside Patrick Anthony the Hypeman of Nuphoric.

In addition I’ve done professional dancing (modern, ballet, jazz, hiphop) since I was 5 years old.

I became a DJ at the age of 12.

My father was my inspiration behind this because deejaying has been his hobby since he was about 12! He also does sound systems as a hobby, so I grew up in a house filled with sound equipment and would always have a DJ console in my house.



As a result, being young I would observe my dad and sometimes just “mess around” on the console. He taught me the basics but back then I never anticipated that I would ever DJ anywhere outside of my house.

The story that launched me into becoming a DJ stems from Carnival the year that I was 12.

My father gave me the opportunity to DJ on his music truck for Carnival in San Fernando.

The spectators loved me and other DJ’s in the business commented that my skills were “amazing” for being so young.

I proceeded to train for a few months with a DJ by the name of DJ Promo who was at the time part of the “Dynasty Crew” on the then Masala Radio 101.1FM.

He helped me to develop my skills some more and together with more extensive training with my dad, I was able to gain enough confidence to start taking on some gigs! I would DJ for weddings, parties etc.



This happened for a few years until I was 16 and decided to enter the RANE SERATO Mixmaster Competition which was aired as a show on CNMG.

I was the youngest competitor as well as the only female competitor.

I made it all the way to the finals where I placed 4th amongst some of the biggest names in the DJ industry locally.

It was from there that I started building connections which led to where I am today.

Throughout my years I’ve had some pretty interesting experiences where this is concerned LOL. I’ve had many people say that I’ve only reached as “far” as I have because I am a woman and not as a result of my ability.

There are many male DJ’s who have been really mean to me at gigs and events also. Being a female DJ, I’ve always wanted to be judged primarily on the basis of my skill.



It’s inevitable that at DJ gigs where people can see me, the aspect of being a woman influences their opinion of my overall DJ performance.

People love seeing a woman on the turntables in high heels and a glamorous dress! But I’ve always asked fellow DJ’s in the fraternity to judge me based on how my set sounds.

The great thing about radio is that nobody can see me deejay but they sure can hear me! Thus they can give a fair judgment about my deejay sets.

Despite the negativity that I have received from many male DJs, there are several others who have supported me and continue to support me on my journey and I am always grateful for their constructive criticism and bits of advice

Local History ~ Stick-Fighting


Many civilizations and cultures around the world have martial arts and traditions - spaces where a young warrior learns discipline and the art of battle. Our stick fighting traditions are part of this, brought by both our African and Indian ancestors.

Gatka which was brought by our Indian ancestors features a stick in one hand and a leather shield on the other and is a ceremonial fight sometimes seen during Hosay.

Kalenda or kalinda has been traced to our ancestors who came from West Africa, requires that the stick is held with both hands.

Similar types of martial traditions can be found in Cuba, Haiti and Grenada. Like Brazil's capoeira, some of the force of these practices was disguised in the music and dance to help them survive colonialism and enslavement.

In the 19th century both before and after Emancipation stick fight Gayelles were held around the country at any time of the year, particularly festivals.

But for a lot of the 20th century it was felt that stick fighting was the domain of drunkards.

We know that our stick fight is more important than just a 'buss head'.

1970s images of Moruga Gayelles



The dance of the stick fighter is caller 'Carray'



An important part of the Gayelle is the music. The Chantwell leads the call and response Lavway.
Every village has its own Chantwell who sings the praises of their champion stick fighter or knows
The right song that will bring out the fighter's warrior spirit.
The Chantwell is the 'Forefather' of the Calypsonian



The Gayelle is the space where the Battle between Two Stick Fighters takes place.
The Fighter who draws First Blood is Declared the Victor.
