The traditions of the indigenous folklore groups will once again be on display this carnival season, thanks to the support of community-minded companies and partners of the Ministry of Culture.
The St. Kitts-based Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) has generously donated to the festivities for folklore groups such as the masquerade, clown, bull and moko-jumbies. The monies will be used to ?make sure that the folklore [acts] have the best possible costuming and music and generally get ready for performing their traditional cultural roles in our festival, " said Minister of State responsible for culture, Honourable Richard Skerritt. All the groups welcome additional financial assistance.
The Christophe Harbour Development Company, N. Brisbane and Associates, and Kelsick, Wilkin and Ferdinand have all also made donations specifically to support the folklore traditions.
Fifteen folklore groups are registered to participate in the St. Kitts and Nevis National Carnival 2009/2010. They will be primarily showcased during the December 29 and 30 Folklore Avenue Extravaganza on Fort Street. Groups will also perform in various communities throughout the season and will remain a highlight of the Grand Parade on New Year?s Day, and Last Lap on January 2. The Folklore Academy of St. Kitts and Nevis, which features children between the ages of 5-12, will be among the new acts performing this year.
