St. George’s, Grenada, W.I. - Grenada’s Spice Mas 2013 has been dedicated to T&T’s national instrument, the steelpan. The theme of this year’s festivities is Sweet Steelpan Music, The Sound and Rhythm of Spice Mas, Tourism and Culture Minister Alexandra Otway-Noel said yesterday.
“Pan is an important part of who we are. Some people say that it was a Grenadian that invent pan, but that’s another argument. We have a lot of talented pan groups and we wanted to highlight them this year as part of the music and who we are and where we come from,” she told the Sunday Guardian.
....On Friday, the Paria Bullet, one of the vessels operating on T&T’s Water Taxi Service sailed by charter from the Port of Port-of-Spain, to St George’s with 300 passengers on board. “All the flights are full from Trinidad to Grenada. We think we are going to have a wonderful Carnival. In fact flights from everywhere to Grenada are full. We are feeling very, very proud of the achievement and that people are taking notice of our little Spice Mas. It’s a wonderful event.” Otway-Noel said.
