Daly Bread: Running in my blood; why Sekon Sta is a true Carnival innovator
Carnival pores now raising up. Driven in part by the regret of pockets not filling, there are calls to do something to mark the spot normally occupied by the Carnival season.
But Sekon Sta is smarter than all of those who are belatedly rushing into the headlines. In the words of Sparrow: ‘Ah wish, I coulda go and shake he han’.

I might invite him to change his name to ‘First Sta’, in recognition of being the first to re-jig a carnival product for pandemic times.
Analysis needed on virtual Carnival experience
Saturday 16 January 2021
THE EDITOR: This is the third year that Nesta “Sekon Sta” Boxhill and his team have organised their “fetecert” (tele concert). Once again, though we may have missed a golden opportunity to assist the popular Arts, which are an integral part of our economy.
What has happened? Current discussion about Sekon Sunday revolves around whether any public health protocols were breached. Clearly that is very important as we continue to live with the pandemic.
But what about the content of the event itself? Commentary was limited. One report/critique that I saw in the print media was headlined “First-class show at Sekon Sunday” written by Newsday’s Melissa Doughty (January 12).

The TT Promoters Association (TTPA) is calling for greater dialogue with the Government as it relates to the entertainment industry and Carnival.
At a press conference at Queen’s Hall, St Ann’s, on Friday, the association made several requests, among them: a seat at the table of decision making, a change in messaging around what the industry does, discussions about Carnival 2022 and discussions about a path to safely reopening the entertainment sector.
