Carnival… There is no other carnival anywhere in the world like Trinidad&Tobago! Its about a total release of music, rhythms, masquerading, showmanship, freedom of expression and culture! Just that word in passing can conjure up dancing in the streets. The total abandonment of social conformity takes over as men, women and children dance to the sounds of the steel-pan and soca artists & calysonians! Ahhh, there is that music… this how it feels! Masqueraders are in costumes which are gaily colored. Some are fully clothed but many are two piece swimsuits with glitter, feathers and beads adorning the bodies of the actors..’all players of the mas’. I have been there and the feeling is exhilarating, unlike any you will ever feel unless you are in Trinidad for Carnival. Anyone can ‘play mas’, by registering with a ‘band’ and approximately nine hundred USD! Music flows at the highest frequency. The beat moves and everyone synchronizes movement. ...
Life Happens... and then we talk!
