On
the days preceding Ash Wednesday, Trinidad erupts in an orgy of excitement, noise,
color, and energy known as carnival. Other countries celebrate carnival, but none
quite like Trinidad, where carnival is not just a two-day event; it is an all-year-round
statement of identity. Up to 100,000 Trinidadians, or almost 10 percent of the
population, actively take part in carnival. Everyone talks and argues about it,
some boycott it, but no one ignores it. Calypsonian SuperBlue has called it "one
of the most awesome moods in the world." Trinidadians have a word to describe
it: "Bacchanal!"
