Darren Cheewah explains the concept of 'X'


Now I will be the first to say even though Peter Samuel did explain some of the ‘X’ concept to me, my understanding of what I saw only went as far as the 21st century Sailor mas, the rest was not clear to me.
Trinidad Carnivals managed an interview with  the designer of ‘Strictly Alternative Mas’ (SAM) Darren Cheewah, who explains the influences on the mas its relation to the traditions of the past and the socio/political issues of today. 



There is a good article on Cheewah, X, and SAM on the Trinidad Carnivals blog check it out.
 ‘X’ launches on Friday 14th of October 2011.

    Yes it was a great post, and a fantastic idea to get the designer to explain the mas in his own words.
    I'm looking forward to seeing more interviews like this.

    Well since you on an alternative mas tip I think the K2K Alliance will be really interesting, im not sure what the hype is like about them in Trini but but what they have produced is saying something new.
