Its a shames the music is wrong It ruins the feel of the footage that the road March was Kitchener "67" and a popular tune that year would have been "Miss tourist "by Kitchener. I dont know what Sparrow sang that year perhaps someone can give me a shout. By the way I was born in 1968 in Britain, but hey what do we Brits know about calypso? ( please don't bother to come back on that comment)
@curtisrjames it don't matter where you're from. If you now, you know. I had a woman in her 70's or 80's here in America asking me if I knew about a calypsonian from the 40's or 50's. Luckily because i've made this my life passion for the last five years... I knew. But I was surprised that she new.
where was it? San Fernando? It was definitely in trinidad... and the only two places where they have big mas crossing stage like that... on dirt roads... is Port of Spain and San Fernando.
it's crazy how the mas has changed over the years...this is only 1967. i love it tho...i was born in brooklyn,ny but my parents were born in trinidad. it's good 2 c a piece of history.
you and me in the same boat. I'm doing some stuff right now on Trinidad carnival. Are you interested... because I will need help from people who actually appreciate the history.

The costumes here remind me of the one in the early 80s when I was a child.
