The
main music festival in Barbados is crop over, which is celebrated with song,
dance, calpso tent competitions and parades, especially leading up to the
Monday in August, Kadooment Day. The crop is inaugurated by the ritual delivery
of the last of the harvest on a cart pulled by mules.
In
addition to crop over, music plays a significant role in several other
Barbadian holidays and festivals. The Easter Oistins Fish Festival is done on
the street with music to celebrate the signing of commemorates, the arrival of
the first settler’s in1627. The opera, carbaret and sports are a major part of
the Easter Holders Seasons.
