Footage contributed by Sooty1312. This video is not to be copied without express written consent of the operator of this channel. These wonderful 8mm colour home movies capture Trinidad Carnival of over 50 years ago. Note the beautiful art deco Queen's Park Hotel and the unmistakable American influence on the revelers' costumes. At that time, the Chaguaramas Naval Station was still in operation, with thousands of American servicemen stationed there. Look for the Coat of Arms of the Federation of the West Indies and the Anchor Special cigarette head gear! A beautiful troupe of Dakota "Red Indians" dance by among others. The camera work is good and the colour is still relatively stable on this old film that captures a Trinidad that has long since disappeared.

It is a nostalgic recount of the sight and sounds of my birthplace. The energy, creativity, and the diversity of our people. In retrospect, it also brings the sadness of our present relationships with one another. The world today, is filled with distorted human behaviour. influenced by financial and material acquisition. Sad travesty from lost humility.Thanks for sharing.

Robbie H. Relax! This is a silent 8mm film. Of course it's not the right music. When I get around to it I will find some 1957 music to put in. Go have a rum and coke and calm down for Christ's sake.

@fuzzybearphoto Yes others have remarked the same. I'm going to find some period pan music and mix it with an ambient carnival track and post it again. Thanks for your comment! A carnival video would be horrid to watch without a soundtrack.

You can get "Jean and Dinah" played by a steelband on the road. That's the year before, 1956. It's on U-tube, a Cook recording.
