SANDRA L BLOODAward-winning children’s Carnival band Spoilt Rotten Kids (SRK) will present Ambakaila — described as a unique and immersive stage-inspired portrayal — as its Carnival offering this year, featuring nine sections and masqueraders as young as two.
Ambakaila was originally a celebrated stage production by the late Aubrey Adams and the Trinidad Theatre Workshop during the 1970s and ’80s.
Audiences were treated to performances of bélé, limbo, Arawak dance, steelpan and calypso — all presented as theatrical spectacle.
Limbo Like Me highlights girls aged nine to ten paying tribute to Julia Edwards, the world’s first limbo ambassador.
Bringing up the rear are the youngest participants — mixed two- and three-year-olds — in Dance the Bélé, portraying bélé dancers.
