I am a former tropical islander from the Indian ocean and I have so much respect for the West Indians for carnival and soca. Ole times carnival seem so beautiful and sad that it has been slowly eroding.
I agree with you. Now it's all about showing skin.... and it's not all very attractive. What's next? going naked?????. I HOPE NOT. The twerking is also disgusting, so vulgar. Some of these " twerkers" look so ridiculous. I am not saying that one should not have a good time and “break away" as we used to say but the twerking has gone too far. Twerk in the privacy of your home. Somebody has to say it, so I AM.
Have you noticed that they survived without all those big trucks. What a far cry from what is produced today. Every band is distinct. It is time for bandleaders to become creative and put something out for one to marvel about. People had less money then, so it cannot be for the lack of money why they cannot get rid of the bikinis and beads.
Yes girl!!! giv it to dem, giv it to dem man, ah kno wa yo takin bout yes!!. No good dese days. Look how nice we look long time. NOW!!!..every ting change up. "o lord oooo!!!." 😂 😄🙉 Doctor Willy mus b tunning in he grave rit now. hahaha✋✋✋
Yes, they had pan and brass and seeing big truck there was a bit shock for me. Need to go back and look at old time carnival and show the skills. And the music. It is getting lost and making it a big tourist melt of people.
Bruce Dummett: remember wen uh mother would cook she pigeon peas and rice, pack she basket and carry it down d road to feed any body who want food, and , mauby was alsways there sitting in a bottle to wash it down.. 😄😄😄 every body mother was called "tanty" when they see food. Wa hapen to d good ole days ????. boy ah miss it!!!.
The costumes were pretty OK back then and they were aware of what was happenings globally. Hell i was only 4 yrs. old then. Nice upload !
I am so proud coming from a great and beautiful culture, we know nothing stays the same but I wish times like those return

Not all. My family was dirt poor. Denied education opportunities. The Brits picked winners and losers.
These costumes remind me so much of the presentations of Trini Revellers.
Bandleaders, please bring back the old style costumes of Carnival bands. Now that was entertainment.
Collie Moore : girl am witt uh on dat!!!. 😄 😂🌹🌹

Ok. I guess this is what we will have to do in 2021......look at all the previous carnival videos. Since there wont be any to look at this year.
I like how he narrated this
The golden days carnival
The true days when steel bands and brass bands ruled the streets with sweet music; now all you hair is ear splitting noise from DJs
Great costumes back then
Anyone know the name of the song around 5:00 ?
Not ONE fat masquerader. Then there were no fast food outlets and we all ate well........

Please bring back the old carnival i was young but those where the days no trouble no stabbing or shooting
Some fat girls at 01:58
Today there would be big protests and being sued for wearing those costumes. What a pity.
we evolved to much😀
Backwards
The commentator is so, of his time.
Where is the Tassa???
Back then it was a Celebration of the Slave being free, it was not a Indian emancipation, so no TASA. Please.
