The 2017 Carnival season officially ended with ‘Tewey Vaval’ in Bataca in the Kalinago Territory on Wednesday evening.
The event began with a parade of a fake coffin containing ‘Vaval’ to the beating of drums.
When night fell kerosene torches (bouzai) were lit while the parade continued.
Finally, the coffin was burnt to ashes marking the end of the Carnival.

Who is the woman wearing the sunglasses, with white shorts and black blouse in pictures 7 and 8? Is that Irene?
ONLY curses you are welcoming into the Kalinago Territory by Teweying Vaval”.. Welcoming demons and all kinda evil spirits… No wonder the place cya grow or develop.. foolish people doing foolish tings..
you seem to be brainwashed.
I believe the tradition is to burn and cast out spirits rather than welcome them. Correct me if im wrong please. I seriously doubt this is the cause of underdevelopment in the territory.
Bagai sot
