Last Saturday
Borokeete launched their 2007 Labor Day presentation "A Cibola Quest". It was brought to my attention by very observant bloggers who attended the launch that one of the costumes closely resembled Nubian's from Island People's "Sahara" this year. Well I finally got a look at the photos and the costume is an exact replica with the headpiece being the only thing changed, which is a pity since the headpiece to me was the main feature that made Nubians stand out. This new headpiece does not work for me at all.
Island People
Sources have also informed me that there is indeed some affiliation between Island People and that particular section (maybe they sold them the costumes that were left over from Trinidad Carnival) so anyone who missed the boat to play Nubians in Trinidad now have the oppourtunity with Borokeetes to do just that for Labor Day!!

I like this costume minus the new headpiece however I LOVED this costume with the IP mohawk headpiece.
What happens if you played with IP in the Nubian section and your costume is in excellent condition - can you play in the Borokeete section for free?
borokeete costumes look like IP rejects down to the Monday wear shorts for the blue shorts.
have we all had our morning dose of Haterade??????
For real...i think someone overdosed lol.
thin skinned? how come no haterade when the comments are bout other bands,shame on you.
This is a hybrid of island peoples costume and Tribes headpiece from 05. muy interesante.
Give credit where credit is due...clearly u don't get it.
Errr...wow..trolls in our midst boy..but I loved the costume in IP, I just not too sure how it linked to the "Borokeete" theme. But I loved that costume on the road in IP..guess we'll see what happens in NYC!
And I agree...if you have your costume from IP still..can you jump up with them on the road in September? IP masqueraders pay enough! lolol
