Flashback to August 5th 2019
Crop Over is a traditional harvest festival which began in Barbados , having had its early beginnings on the sugar cane plantations during slavery. The original crop over tradition began in 1687 as a way to mark the end of the yearly harvest , but was wide spread throughout the region at the time , including in St. Vincent , Trinidad & Jamaica. As such , it still shares similarities with Carnival in Brazil & Trinidad. Many crop over celebrations were organized & sponsored by planters , who used gifts of food& liquor as a means to reinforcing & excusing the continued enslavement of their labour force. However slaves would also have often unsanctioned fetes that featured singing , dancing & accompaniment by bottles filled with water , shak shak , banjo , triangle , fiddle , guitar & bones that were more in keeping with their ancestral culture. Other traditions that were later added included climbing a greased pole , feasting & drinking competitions. However , with the harsh effects of World War 2 on Barbados , these annual celebrations came to an end.
