TRINI REVELLERS 2007 – LES ARISTOCRATES

I must say, I am quite impressed with Trini Revellers’s 2007 Trinidad Carnival presentation, The French Revolution. Some might argue that I’m slightly biased because my aunt has been putting out a section with them for a few years now and because the word “Revellers” bears an uncanny resemblance to my last name, but the truth is that I think that they are one of the few bands still staying true to Carnival as an artform. When Trini Revellers says that they are bringing out a band called, “The French Revolution”, I bet yuh bottom dollar that their costumes will make you feel like you’re actually a part of that time. Granted Trini Revellers’ followers happen to be a little older than the TRIBE and Island People set and so their costumes tend to reflect the needs of that group (i.e. emphasis on coverage vs. nudity), I am still always impressed by the actual design of the costume.

This year, my aunt is producing a section called Les Aristocrates and as any good niece should, I thought that it would be a good idea to show my support by sharing the designs with you. Here is the email that I received from her earlier today. (P.S. KOZKELLE is the name of her mas production company.)

Hello folks,

Here’s a preview of KOZKELLE’S costume LES ARISTOCRATES, in Trini Revellers ’07 presentration, The French Revolution.

As you can see we have several variations to the costume, designed to suit all moods.

We will be at our own mas camp at 177 Tragerete Rd, corner of Pole Carew St, just before Roxy, from November 3rd.
