00:00Vincimas continues to be celebrated in San Vincenzo, Santa Granadina, as the carnival

00:19can reach its final stages with the best celebrations and activities going on

00:22in this Thursday, Friday and over the weekend. Let's go with our special

00:26Envoy Belén de los Santos to have all the details of this carnival season in the country.

00:35Hello Luis, exactly. We continue here in San Vincenzo and the Granadine. As you were saying,

00:44we are hitting the top days of Vincimas. We are in full preparations. Everyone is ready and set

00:52because, as we were saying earlier today, the main events are starting. Of course,

00:57this has been going on for the past week, but today is one of the events that everyone has

01:04been waiting for, both in its year and also adult positions. The Still and Theater, where the music

01:11meets the style and the masquerades, the festivals, meets the stills and precautions. So, we will be

01:18looking forward to that. And actually, yesterday, we were touring things down as the band camps, the

01:26mass bands were getting ready and setting everything, preparing the costumes, preparing the performances

01:33and final rehearsals. And we actually got to some of the artists, some very renowned artists here in

01:41San Vincenzo and the Granadines. Because we were saying caliptico, for example, is one of the most

01:47important traditional rhythms. It speaks to the relevance of the culture. And it's a rhythm that takes an important

02:01cultural device. So, we were speaking to Santhu Sandy Adam,

02:07and also the first time performer that will be performing once again this weekend. And this is what we expect.

02:17In general, St. Vincent is the hottest carnival in the Caribbean. And so, you expect nothing but

02:23non-stop partying and vibes and fun and excitement. And there will be major competition like Soka Munah

02:31competition, Calypso competition, Queens of the Band, Panorama. So, this weekend is going to be just a

02:38competition weekend. Even the masqueraders on Tuesday will be displaying their costume, but they will be

02:44judged on that day as well. So, it's all going down from, I think, from Friday on to Wednesday when it

02:51finished. It's strictly competition throughout that time.

03:01The importance of identity is one of the main topics that these artists are highlighting in their

03:12performances. And this was one of the things other band camps were selecting the idols, the important

03:20figures, to pay tribute to them in this carnival. This is all in preparation for what is starting. Today,

03:28the main events are becoming and are starting. And we will be following them closely. So, stay tuned

03:35and tell us your English briefs. I go back to you now.

03:41Thank you, Belen, for the latest information coming from St. Vincent and the Grandinans. We're

03:44going to stay tuned for upcoming news briefs to have more details of what is happening.
