| J'ouvert (contraction of the french jour ouvert or dawn) marks the beginning of Carnival in Trinidad & Tobago and other Caribbean countries. The celebration involves bands of people parading through the city from about 4:00 a.m. until a couple of hours after dawn. Each band is accompanied by DJ trucks or steel pan bands on a truck, drink trucks and some form of gooey substance, e.g. mud, paint, chocolate syrup, which is flung in every direction until everybody and the entire town is covered. I 'played' j'ouvert this morning with Caribs Rugby Club and had a blast. The photos below really tell the story from a squeaky clean me at 3:00 a.m. at the rugby club to the unrecognisable person in the photo above. |
