Barbados Culture HOME HOLIDAYS SPORTING CULTURAL ... CULTURAL CROP OVER FESTIVAL Crop Over, a five-week summer festival, is Barbados' most popular and colourful festival. It's origins can be traced back to the 1780's, a time when Barbados was the world's largest producer of sugar. At the end of the sugar season, there was always a huge celebration to mark the culmination of another successful sugar cane harvest - the Crop Over celebration. As the sugar industry in Barbados declined, so too did the Crop Over festival and in the 1940's the festival was terminated completely. However, the festival was revived in 1974 and other elements of Barbadian culture were infused to make the extravaganza that exists today ..... an event that attracts thousands of people from across the globe. The festival begins with the Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes and the crowning of the King and Queen of the Festival - the most productive male and female cane cutters of the season. Bridgetown Market consists of several stalls which sell local food and beverages as well as local arts and crafts. Enjoy the calypso music and the live tuk bands as you browse through the stalls. Cohobblopot is a huge carnival-like show with members of the Kadooment bands displaying their elaborate and stunning costumes. In recent years there has also been a huge entertainment package with the most popular calypsonians and bands performing to packed audiences.

It’s 96°F in the shade and my knees are shaking. I’m at Gun Hill Station, St Phillips, a guest of Voices: Barbados Writers Collective. I am about to go on stage. Nerve-racking in itself, but Winston Farrell has just finished performing and the cries of “Yes man!” and “Lick them down!” are still resounding among the audience. He has left them heightened. The stamping of feet and clapping of hands pulse out over the countryside. Farrell is a multiple award winner. He has performed in America and Europe and toured with Linton Kwesi Johnson. His body rhythms are rooted to the ground he moves on, his words and dreads alive, with poems of ancestors – cassava and yam roots of African ancestry the drums black skin stretched over hell’s water (‘Discovery’ from Voices 1 , An Anthology of Barbadian Writing, published by Voices) – and poems that draw on the imagery of the ibis (‘Sphinx’), and rhythmical poems, such as ‘Black Knight’, which I always request.
