ABOUT
US
Pempaleh came
into being in 1978 in Gasparillo, Trinidad, from where we continue
to conduct our Trinidad and Tobago affairs.
Our
international efforts are being pursued from our base on Staten
Island, New York, USA.
Our name
"Pempaleh" (pronounced Pem-pah-lay) is derived from the
French words "plein palais" meaning "royal plain."
Over a century ago the words "plein palais" were used to
describe the Gasparillo/Pointe-A-Pierre region.
A broken form
of this name as used by the elders of Gasparillo was Pempaleh. We
decided to adopt this name for our company in honour of our
Gasparillo elders.
Pempaleh's
purpose is two fold:
-
To produce,
present and promote all forms of Caribbean expressions for, by and
about our Caribbean people.
-
To seek every
possible avenue to develop a viable international market for all
creative works of excellence, dignity and integrity that reflect the
strength and spirit of our heritage.
