The picture is an excellent portrayal of the "Fireman" from the traditional Fancy Sailor Mas band of yesteryear.
Fancy Sailor mas has an important place in steelband history, since this was the preferred type of mas presented on Carnival by steelbands back in the days when the steelbands were also mas bands.
Putting a mas band on the road was the biggest and most exciting thing that a steelband did before panorama became the main focus.
With of without sound, this picture and its history belongs on this forum.
