KB Has His Say About Junkanoo Carnival In Grand Bahama

viagra generic malady times;”>In a letter to the press Kirk Bodie, aka KB, the musician had this to say about the success of Junkanoo Carnival in Grand Bahama last week.  He said in effect that it was his idea all along and he is glad the people have finally seen it his way  LOL. Sometimes it is better for a fellow to be silent and simply admit that he lost the argument.

So when I saw the live stream of the so-called Carnival event in Grand Bahama, I was happy to see that they emulated the template of the successful “It’s A Bahamian Ting” show that we put on a week prior at Arawak Cay (April 11^th, 2015). They had an all Bahamian cast, like we did. They had Rake-N-Scrape, like we did. They had a Junkanoo Rush Out, like we did. They had a super-sized Goombay Summer Festival, like we did.

It was awesome and I said to myself, this is what I was asking for all along, Bahamians and visitors enjoying our Bahamian Culture. What I did not want was a Trinidadian type carnival-styled event and from all indications, the Trini Road Fever thing never happened in Grand Bahama. Again great, that is not Bahamian Culture. So all in all, Grand Bahama held a complete Bahamian Festival and there was no need for the word ‘carnival’ to be added to it. No one came to Grand Bahama looking for a carnival. No one purchased Road Fever Trini costumes.
