CARIFESTA IN SURINAME
AUGUST 24 – 30, 2003
THE FIRST THOUGHT OF FORBES BURNHAM, THE FOUNDER OF CARIFESTA AND FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF GUYANA,
WHEN THINKING ABOUT CARIFESTA, WAS ENVISIONING A MEETING POINT
FOR KINDRED SPIRITS.
A BLEND OF CREATIVE FORCES BRINGING TOGETHER THE CREAM OF
ARTISTS IN THE REGION AND AT THE SAME TIME PROVIDING THEM, WITH
A STAGE.
AND IT’S JUST THAT WHAT SURINAME HAS, MOST OF ALL. THE
INGREDIENTS FOR THE GREATEST CULTURAL MIX OF ALL TIMES. THE
SPECIAL CARIFESTA FEELING COMES NATURAL, WITH THE PEOPLE OF
SURINAME.
THE NATION OF SURINAME WELCOMES ALL GUESTS TO ENJOY AND
PARTICIPATE IN THIS CULTURAL EXTRAVAGANZA.
THIS CULTURAL EXTRAVAGANZA IS TO AWAKEN AND FEED THE CARIBBEAN
SPIRIT, THAT LIVES IN ALL OF US.
SO LET’S CELEBRATE AND SPEAK BOB MARLEY’S LANGUAGE, THE LANGUAGE
WE SHARE; ‘ONE LOVE’.
