Kadooment is the carnival we have in Barbados. It is the climax of our Crop Over Season. It's the best. Crop Over happens every year during summer May - August. But Kadooment happens at the beginning of August. Crop Over was originally a festival to celebrate the end of the crop season. But now its mostly a reason to party and ge' on bad.
Everyone is in a great mood because they are all drunk and theres a bunch of new music encouraging you to sweat, drink and ben' over. Which is basically the perfect recipe for a good time. As my calendar goes, Crop Over is in the Top 3 Seasons of The Year.
Everyone is in incredible costumes, again drinking, sweaty and merry. I've never been to Trinidadian or Brazilian Carnival but theres nothing like a Bajan Crop Over. I missed last year because I was in New York, but I'm going to more than make up for it this year.
Heres a video, one of my friends made of last year's jump. Enjoy. Be jealous. Come out this year.
If you want to keep up-to-date with the Crop Over happenings and goings on, check out the calendar for the season at www.barbados.org.
The music is one of the most important parts of Crop Over so fill your earholes with the music this year, with this Crop Over Mix.
