Jâ€™Ouvert As Seen through My Eyes

carnivalnetwork — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 20:28:47 +0000

Itâ€™s Monday September 1st 2008. Itâ€™s Jâ€™ouvert, an early morning revelry of panmen, musicians, and merrymakers, onlookers and masqueraders, the dance of the Red Devils, and baby powder filled the air with a pleasant refreshing smell as it is being thrown by the White devils. There were others covered in other concoctions which are supposed to resemble mud or oil.

I watch a motley crowd pouring out from all corners and filled the street with bubbling spirits of merriment. Flags of the Caribbean countries rippled across the street as a field of exotic flowers blown by a gust of wind. Hope is weaved into bright and showy raiment and dreams are shaped into melody. To fuel the soul drink Carib, Guinness or Heineken beers, and feast on jerk chicken, boil corn, roast corn, and hot spicy corn, hot pepper shrimps and hot crab legs.

After sunrise the J’ouvert finishes, most people will go home to shower and then change into their better clothes or costumes to take part in the main parade hours later.

Faint or frisky, sober or stone the crowd glows.

The latest costume from Kaios is a beautifully crafted red counterpart sufficiently named “African Fire”. As you pass by their mas camp, the full head-piece will catch your eye, before the sounds of soca music hits your ears.

Sesame Flyers History

Mas at Sesame began at the interception of the organization with the children and adults both being involved in the production and participation. Since no one in the organization was really versed in the actual mas making, we decided to do something simple with printed Tee Shirts and sailor caps with Silhouettes Steel Orchestra supplying the beautiful music and we looked fantastic. Although the production was a big hit with our members and supporters, the adults lost interest in playing mas the following year.

In 1991, while President of Sesame Flyers International Incorporated, Winston Munroe was approached by Derrick Noel at the Hawksâ€™ Christmas Dance to start an Adult Mas Band collaborative effort with his production company â€œDeck Productionâ€.

After The Executive Committee welcomed the idea, Hyacinth Williams agreed to make a trip to Trinidad to scout out some of the mas producers. These prominent figures included Wayne Berkley, Peter Minshall, and Steven Lee Young. The decision was made to work with Steven Lee Young, since he seemed to be the most accommodating. Steve produced 1,000 costumes for Sesame Flyers carnival in 1992 with the theme â€œExcerpts Of The New Worldâ€. After the successful mas campaign on the parkway, the production changed the face of Mas in Brooklyn, New York.

Sesame Flyers placed third in the competition that year and have not looked back since.
