  • 1 Carnival and the Christian Introduction the Matter of The
    Carnival and the Christian Introduction The matter of the Christian and Carnival is, to many, an unresolved and perhaps even unresolvable one. Over the years, views by pastoral leaders have been diametrically opposed to one another. It is critical however for the Christian to ask questions and carefully evaluate their position in an effort to locate themselves at a place that honours and glorifies God as is consistent with Biblical principles. I am not suggesting that this essay will have “all the answers” however it is my hope that it will provoke reflection and conversation towards responsible and informed decision making. Definition What is carnival? Defining carnival is affected by the difficulty in separating definition from description especially since description varies both historically and contextually. Carnival has changed through the years and has different components in different places. Definition therefore will be using a two-layered approach; the etymological (word meaning) and the observational (what we see). The observational approach includes identifying what have been consistent ingredients over the years. The etymological The word ‘carnival’ comes from Latin origin meaning “farewell to the flesh”, a word coined to reflect a practice where people were encouraged to entertain the desires of the flesh, abandon restraint, ignore discretion and disregard boundaries as a last “hurrah” before a season of self-denial and Christian discipline. Related in meaning, is the term Mardi Gras (French for ‘Fat Tuesday’) which was the French expression for that last opportunity of indulgence before Ash Wednesday and Lent. Some saw this as a kind of purge, a time to get rid of sin by giving expression to it.

As a pivotal point in the Transatlantic Slave Trade of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, one of Britain’s most prized colonies well into the mid twentieth century, and, since 1966, one of the most stable postcolonial nation-states in the Western hemisphere, Barbados offers an extremely important and, yet, understudied site of world history. Barbadian identity stands at a crossroads where ideals of British respectability, African cultural retentions, U.S. commodity markets, and global economic flows meet.

  • Child Abuse, Bling Addiction and Soca Music in Trinidad and Tobago
    1 The University of the West Indies Centre for Gender and Development Studies Issue 2 – 2008 ―Neither Lend Out Your Hole To Achieve Piece of Gold‖ — Child Abuse, Bling Addiction and Soca Music in Trinidad and Tobago Camille Hernandez-Ramdwar ______________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The above title‘s lyrical excerpt is taken from Trinidadian soca artist Bunji Garlin‘s 2003 song ―Dignity‖, in which he addresses youth who are engaging in prostitution and transactional sexi . In the song, Garlin chastises those who participate in such acts, while celebrating those who abstain by maintaining their ―dignity‖: You know life is like a car and dignity is the clutch And some people love automatic and don‘t want to clutch too much You know they have no dignity no integrity no purity they have no kind of sanity Jeezanages all they dealing with is profanity Hand up so! If yuh never sell yuh body just to make some money hands up lemme see Hand up so! Tru you never sell out your soul neither lend out your hole to achieve piece of gold hand up so! Tru you keep your dignity your pride and integrity well hands up lemme see 2 hand up so! (2003b) The Caribbean has a long history of the sexualization and commodification of bodies, from the exploitation, enslavement, brutalization, fear of, and fascination with, Indigenous people by the Spanish, through the centuries of brutality enacted on African, Asian and mixed race bodies by the colonizers during the eras of slavery and indentureship, onto the present day where we find increases in the levels of tourism (including sex tourism), sexual violence and alarming rates of HIV infection (Kempadoo 2004; Sheller 2003; UNAIDS 2006).

  • Kerwin Du Bois Bio
    Kerwin du Bois bio “If I fail to succeed then success is my failure, I was born a winner.” This is the mantra that has kept ace songwriter/ producer/ performer/ vocalist Kerwin Du Bois afloat in the music industry for numerous years. Born in the capital city, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, it quickly became evident that Kerwin was destined for success in Calypso and Soca. His singing debut came at primary school level when he participated in the nation’s first Junior Calypso Monarch competition. Winning the title in its second year was no easy feat but afforded Kerwin the opportunity to showcase his unique capabilities, forcing industry gurus to pay attention to him almost immediately. The talented performer rose through the ranks of the calypso world, capturing the Young Kings title and even reached the Big Yard for the National Calypso Monarch finals on several occasions. Hailed as a rising star, Kerwin delighted all with his melodious voice and thought-provoking lyrics and was selected to represent Trinidad along with other young Calypsonians for a Calypso Youth Exchange programme hosted by the Association of British Calypsonians in the UK. He later settled in the UK for a number of years, eventually capturing the UK Calypso Monarch title. In recent years, Du Bois has extended his as a Calypsonian into Soca not only as a performer but also as a highly acclaimed and sought after producer and songwriter. His efforts have been acknowledged by some of the other major soca artists such as Machel Montano, Bunji Garlin, Destra Garcia, Kees Dieffenthaller, Denise Belfon, Farmer Nappy, Blaxx and Lyrikal who have all tapped into the talents of this accomplished hit maker.

As a pivotal point in the Transatlantic Slave Trade of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, one of Britain’s most prized colonies well into the mid twentieth century, and, since 1966, one of the most stable postcolonial nation-states in the Western hemisphere, Barbados offers an extremely important and, yet, understudied site of world history. Barbadian identity stands at a crossroads where ideals of British respectability, African cultural retentions, U.S. commodity markets, and global economic flows meet. Focusing on the rise of Barbadian popular music, performance, and visual culture this dissertation demonstrates how the unique history of Barbados has contributed to complex relations of national, gendered, and sexual identities, and how these identities are represented and interpreted on a global stage. This project examines the relation between the global pop culture market, the Barbadian artists within it, and the goals and desires of Barbadian people over the past fifty years, ultimately positing that the popular culture market is a site for postcolonial identity formation.

    ARTIST COALITION OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO (A.C.T.T.) 5 Gulf View Drive, La Horquette Extension Road, Glencoe 1-868-797-0949 [email protected] www.artistcoalition.org Monday 27th June 2011 The Honourable Mr. Winston Peters Minister of Arts and Multiculturalism Ministry of Arts and Multiculturalism Frederick Street Port of Spain Dear Minister Peters, Re: The Festival del Caribe, Santiago Cuba 2011 This message has been elicited from us by a number of cultural representative groups who have been expressing serious concerns about events surrounding the Trinidad and Tobago participation for the Festival Del Caribe in Santiago, Cuba next month. The dedication of this year’s Festival to Trinidad and Tobago is a signal honour, respected all over the Latin American diaspora and amongst the arts cognoscenti of the world. As probably has been communicated to you by numerous people our national application towards fulfilling our end of the honour has been horrific and is now an international scandal amongst the same Latin American and Caribbean diasporas and arts watchers worldwide. This letter is not about ‘spilt milk’ as we understand that a last minute effort has been launched to ‘save face’. However even this selection process and the eventual contingent may lead to even further embarrassment- or can lead to not as great a return in terms of possibilities- if not chosen well and wisely. As the contingent for this ‘trip’ may already be chosen we would like to suggest a protocol for the future in terms of how such selections can be expedited. However we would like to make it clear that the correct course of action is that the best possible contingent must be chosen and funds should be advanced for such persons who have not already been selected to make the trip.
