The National Trust of Trinidad and Tobago will host the Historic Carnival Tour on Tuesday 30th January, 2018 from 8:30am to 3:30pm. The tour will expose patrons to the history of pan, calypso and mas as they explore various spaces which include: The Sparrow Exhibition, the Lord Superior Exhibition, Rain-o-rama (Lord Kitchener’s home and museum), a wirebender’s workshop and the pan yard of the reigning Panorama Champions - Trinidad All Stars. Patrons will also be serenaded by the world's longest performing calypsonian: Lord Superior.
Lord Superior started performing at the age of 16 and is the first calypsonian to produce a record on his own record label; the first to perform at Madison Square Garden, New York, USA and the first to produce a full length calypso musical. In 2017, Andrew “Lord Superior” Marcano received an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters (DLitt) at the University of the West Indies (UWI) graduation at the St. Augustine Campus for his contributions to the art form.
