One week from today we shall be looking at the first Carnival costumes of Trinidad Carnival 2010 as Spice will be holding their media launch on Wednesday June 17.
Expectation is high among many to see exactly what the design team of Richard and Anthony Productions have created for Spice's "The Spice Route", and I can tell you that among many masqueraders looking for an alternative Spice is the band on everyone's lips!
The buzz and hype surrounding Spice has even reached to certain section leaders who I am informed are allegedly seeking to leave their immensely popular bands for a spot in Spice! Something has to be working for you when the stalwarts in the business are knocking at your door.
I too am excited for the media launch, if only to get some more information on the theme, a launch date as well as to see some costumes!!
So, do you think that Spice is poised to be the new "IT" band on the carnival scene? Do you think that Spice will cause a migration from other bands for 2010? If Spice has the most gorgeous drop dead costumes out, will that be enough to sway you to Spice things up come Carnival ?
Thoughts, comments and opinions on Spicing it up welcomed!
Carnival 2010 is shaping up to be a very interesting one in terms of expectations from bands and their themes. As I announced yesterday TRIBE's presentation for 2010 is "The Silk Road" while Spice is doing "The Spice Route". Both themes explore the Asian continent however the Spice route and silk road extends to different countries; the Silk Road is highlighted below in RED while the Spice Route is in BLUE:
The Silk Road passes through China, India, Persia and touches Africa/Egypt while the Spice Route encompasses Italy, Greece, Africa, India and the Javanese Islands. I can so see the costumes for BOTH bands!
Add Island People in the mix because their theme is "Kuchela" which is an East Indian condiment in Trinidad, a peak in the mountain ranges of the Himalayas as well as there is a mythological Hindu story about Lord Krishna and his friend Kuchela. Knowing Island People that theme can be interpreted a host of different ways though I am hoping they do a very nice East Indian flavored mas!
2009 Carnival is barely behind us and it is full steam ahead for 2010!
