Veteran Rapso collective 3canal has announced that 2024 is the last year for their popular Jourvert band, according to vocalist Wendell Manwarren.

“The time is right for us to bring down the curtain and take one more bow. We are taking one more chip, one more jam, one more session in service of the living ritual we have so proudly participated in year after year for the last 30 years.”

In a press release, the band also stated that the Jourvert adventure began in 1994 when Manwarren and Roger Roberts along with artist Steve Ouditt formed a band called 3canal. At the time, Manwarren and Roberts were key members of the Callaloo Company, working closely with bandleader and designer Peter Minshall.

“Thirty years is a generation,” said Manwarren. “We have followers of all ages who have been loyal to us over the years, but we’ve been looking at the evolution of Jourvert and believe this is a good time for us to end.”
