Port-of-Spain, Trinidad
-
The closing ceremony of Carifesta IX was a
public spectacle for all who made their way to the Hasely Crawford
Stadium on the evening of October 1. From the performance of Exodus Steel
Orchestra on the grounds under blazingly brilliant
lights - (one of their selections was aptly entitled 'Celebrate')
- to the farewell appearances and performances from the
contingents who were spotlighted for the better part of eight days,
it all culminated here. It was an especially triumphant time
for the contingent from The Bahamas, who proudly received the
mandate to host Carifesta X in their country. That event is
scheduled for 2008.
And while many eyes were fixed on the
activities taking place in the stadium, When Steel Talks
(WST) was more than content to prowl
around on the sidelines and behind the scenes, documenting some of
the groups as they awaited their turn in the spotlight one last time
for Carifesta IX, as well as the attendant crowds. Some never
got around to the stadium for the gala, as many had
made their way to the Grand Market for a type of 'las lap' visit,
opting to check out the booths as vendors showed off their wares -
some at sale prices - in and around the market before the 2006 event
closed for the final time.
