Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - The atmosphere inside the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA) on February 6 defied the reality that Carnival 2021 celebrations had been cancelled. All the elements identified with “the greatest show on earth” were on parade. Veterans and youths, representing the steelbands – CAL Skiffle and Skiffle Protégés – horn and rhythm sections, calypso, soca, chutney soca, sailors, gorillas and Indian mas, all characterised the moment.

....It was the second virtual event put on by Skiffle since the safety restrictions enforced as a result of the covid19 pandemic. Some 250 patrons were allowed to view the show live at the Todd Street, San Fernando academy, in keeping with the protocol of half-capacity in venues.
