This is so great to see because Brigette has been telling everyone from pillar to post for YEARS that Trinidad and Tobago has had the recipe (pun intended) for visitor arrivals. Sheโs been a great regional ambassador and I am so happy to see her get her flowers in real time. ๐
Thereโs a code to crack to understand why in Trinidad and Tobago no matter what happens in the world there will always be a drive to have carnival happen. 1st of all this thing didnโt just drop into someoneโs lap this historically tied in as part of the growing stages of TT. When the whole idea of โcarnivalโ started an admiral left all the way from another side of the world to stop it, with armed forces, and our very own elders / ancestors rose to the occasions with only โsticksโ and whatever other โweaponsโ that would be within reach without boldly breaching the law surrounding what could be in possession as civilians to fight back and lay the foundation for carnival here to exist. Blood is laid in these foundations as in all things that begins and have to fight to take its place in the world to be a culture. Here people have a way of associating culture with sternness and seriousness and as a people TT are generally happy people. Happiness is our way of life and people have a way of treating and seeing happiness to mean weโre not serious so itโs a joke. The same attitude goes to music as music is often only seen as entertainment and therefore entertainment is just a break from โreal workโ and thatโs why here the โcultureโ is never taken seriously and itโs so easy for people to feel carnival is a joke thing. It is a way of life and itโs very deep but focusing on surface can betray the root and truth and depth and any where that a culture is a way of life is never a joke. Itโs a lifeline. Itโs an escape from the constraints that systems may have in play universally but itโs easy also to label practitioners as rebels because abnormal thinking souls are often the facilitators of cultures.
