International mas maker creates mini Minshall band

WHEN Carnival 2021 was cancelled, international mas maker Sudesh Ramsaran came up with the big idea of a miniature mas band.
Ramsaran created the band as a display for the Central Statistical Office (CSO), where he has worked as a statistical officer for the past 18 years.
The band was heavily inspired by the work of legendary mas maker Peter Minshall, crafted using his skills as a mas designer for two decades, and fuelled by his love for the festival, which began when he was a young boy in Sangre Chiquito.
