Farewell, Bruckins Queen
THE Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC) salutes the indelible work of Dainty Stewart, who passed away June 9.
Stewart, a devoted member of the Manchioneal Cultural Group for over 30 years, brought life, beauty and flair to Bruckins.
“With her involvement, many Jamaicans benefited from her wealth of knowledge which contributed tremendously to the preservation of Bruckins and other traditional forms in Jamaica,” said Delroy Gordon, JCDC’s executive director.
Bruckins, a traditional folk form, is done to commemorate the Emancipation of slaves on August 1, 1838.
