About Haiti Carnaval 2012 In Les Cayes, Are You Going, To the description of carnaval as posted by Toudenoir I would add: the jambes de bois groups of adults and children.
All "deguise" and parading on long, tall jambes de bois.
A huge, colorful, dancing and reveling parade.
A feast for the eyes and the ears. Diabolo often the last group in the cortege.
Bringing up the rear, all in jaune abricot and black, chanting: Nou bayo devan, yo pasa paret.
Big ships full of tourists blans lined up from behind La Gonave waiting to discharge their passengers in Port-au-Prince, Petit Goave, Miragoane.
L'armee Haitienne en force in the cortege instilling order.
Bel bagay.
We did not have any insecurity back then. No kidnapping, no tet chage, no black-out, no sida.
In case you are wondering.
It was during and around the tenure of President Paul Eugene Magloire: 1950-1957.
Back then Caribbean tourists destinations were Cuba #1 and Haiti #2.
And now Haiti has this mascarade passing itself for carnaval.
