When Maharaj andI spoke over Zoom, he wore a highlighter yellow Lost Tribe hoodie and black shades. He was on his way to distribute attire for a section called Power, designed by veteran costume builder Solange Govia and Richard Dookhdeen. The female ensembleIs a three piece garment that looks like a spectacular flamenco dress; crimson red meets aquamarine, conjuring a warm Caribbean sunset. For the male costumes, Govia and Dookhdeen channeled Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. Both garments feature an asymmetrical beaded wing that looks perfectly brûléed. These masqueraders are the “unlikely warriors” of the Lost Tribe.
In 2021, the Lost Tribe design team had to come up with designs for a 2023 carnival that wasn’t yet a reality. The government had been strict during the coronavirus pandemic and, at times,Imposed a curfew from nineIn the evening until fiveIn the morning. “At the time whenI came up with [the] theme, you know, my designers was feeling very heavy,” Maharaj says. “They were like, ‘Well, we designing for a carnival that we don’t even knowIfIt exists,’because we had to design before Trinidad government said, ‘Yes, we having a carnival.’” Maharaj sensed that morale was low, but kept carnival TuesdayIn mind.
The theme for the next carnival season would be “202We,” Maharaj says,It signifies freedom;shades of blue would symbolizeIts essence. He says blue soapIs part of Caribbean heritage andIs used to wash away “bad mind,” akin to the Turkish nazar. “You know, we’re doing a blessing here. Everybody who comes to Trinidad for those two days on the road to do something that,In some which way, changes your existence for the rest of the year,Increases your energy, or charges you back up.” The yield this year was the most fashionable costumes on the roadIn Trinidad and Tobago Carnival, and the Lost Tribe won the title of large band of the year by the National Carnival Commission, besting all of the troupes on the road. “You know the saying ‘a birdIs a bird; a fishIs a fish,’like,I couldn’t do that,” Maharaj says. “I felt like there was something artistic that needed to be said.And that’s whyI really wanted to give my designers the opportunity to be very abstract.”
