As a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago I always admired how we as a people come together as one for the festival’s two days. ]]> 2017-04-20 05:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/solangepermell/aqi9tas2jhlg/wish/167179781 solangepermell https://padlet.com/solangepermell/aqi9tas2jhlg/wish/167179799 2017-04-20 05:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/solangepermell/aqi9tas2jhlg/wish/167179799 solangepermell https://padlet.com/solangepermell/aqi9tas2jhlg/wish/167179916 From the bacchanal week (5 days before Carnival Monday) to Carnival Tuesday, the different identities and cultures found in Trinidad come together to form one identity which is Trinbagonian. People are able to put their differences aside for the love of the festival and Trinidad and Tobago’s culture. During carnival, they are able to express themselves through the various carnival costumes which can be found in Carnival bands such as Tribe, Lost Tribe YUMA, Ronnie and Caro, etc. The music that is played during carnival is Calypso and Soca which is sung by persons of different races and cultures but it is enjoyed by all and is used to bring people together. Foreigners who come to celebrate Carnival are able to explore our culture and experience new things with new people. This helps them discover what we have in common, and we can also celebrate what makes us different.]]> 2017-04-20 05:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/solangepermell/aqi9tas2jhlg/wish/167179916 solangepermell https://padlet.com/solangepermell/aqi9tas2jhlg/wish/167179953 Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago is usually referred to as “The Greatest Show on earth” and it is. The energy that exists in the streets on Carnival Monday and Tuesday is indescribable and needs to be experienced to be enjoyed. The different colours of the costumes and songs that are produced helps bring everything together. Apart from the two days of the street festival, other events such as Ole Mas, Dimanche Gras, Panorama and the Kings and Queens Costume Competitio help with the appreciation of the culture.]]> 2017-04-20 05:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/solangepermell/aqi9tas2jhlg/wish/167179953 solangepermell https://padlet.com/solangepermell/aqi9tas2jhlg/wish/167180033 In conclusion, I think that Carnival is one of the main festivals that is able to bring together many different cultures and is appreciated by many, not just in Trinidad and Tobago but all over the world.]]> 2017-04-20 05:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/solangepermell/aqi9tas2jhlg/wish/167180033 solangepermell https://padlet.com/solangepermell/aqi9tas2jhlg/wish/167180176 Madray, Wade.
