I really got caught off guard with this information. It goes to show that not enough attention is paid to the rest of the Caribbean region. Having said that I was searching for information about a song done by Shakki (We losing it) that I also posted today. Of course you can go to www.skn.com for more information about the upcoming festival. The St. Kitts | Nevis Carnival website is loaded with information about the festival and can be accessed from this link: "Sugar Mas" (St. Kitts and Nevis National Carnival).
The following information is about the upcoming St. Kitts Carnival - "Sugar Mas 40:40". The Carnival festivities are scheduled to take place from November 25, 2011 and will run until January 03, 2012. This year people will get a chance to experience "Basseterre Alive", a new event that was added this year to the National Carnival.
