About This Item
Austin TX: University of Texas Press, 1972. 1st printing; blue c w/gilt titles; The pre-lenten carvnial celebrated in Trinidad and now in many other places is well known for participants' colorful costumes and exuberant celebrations. There are numerous cultural events such as "band launch fetes" running in the lead up to the street parade on Carnival Monday and Tuesday. It is said that if the islanders are not celebrating it, then they are preparing for it, while reminiscing about the past year's festival. Traditionally, the festival is associated with calypso music, with its origins formulated in the midst of hardship for enslaved West and Central Africans; however, recently Soca music has replaced calypso as the most celebrated type of music. Costumes (sometimes called "mas"), stick-fighting and limbo competitions are also important components of the festival.[1]. SIGNED & Insc By Author. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Illus. by Color. folio.
