PROFILE

Born July 29, 1973, on the Spice Island of
Grenada, Wilt Cambridge, popularly known as TALLPREE, has become a favorite of “old women” and young alike. Although his 1999 hit “Old Woman Alone” has brought him a new recognition with its phenomenal success, Tallpree has been on the music scene since 1989. Formerly known as Mr. Evilus, Tallpree began performing as a dancehall artist in Grenada, getting his start by hitching rides from his home in St. Georges to anywhere he could get a chance to perform and be heard on the microphone. For years he performed as the opening dancehall act for many of the big name artists that visited Grenada such as Super Cat, Maxi Priest, Barrington Levy , Beenie Man, Bounty Killer and Buju Banton,. Well received by his Jamaican peers, he has even participated in clashes with Merciless and Sean Paul in Grenada. For more info click

	THINGS TO REMEMBER The Arawak Indians were the first to inhabit Grenada, but they were all eventually massacred by the Carib Indians. When Columbus arrived in 1498, he encountered the Caribs, who continued to rule over the island for another 150 years. The French gained control of the island in 1672 and held on to it until 1762, when the British invaded. Black slaves were granted freedom in 1833. After more than 200 years of British rule, most recently as part of the West Indies Associated States, Grenada became independent on Feb. 7, 1974, with Eric M. Gairy as prime minister.
