March 9 '07, Toronto– There’s a new mas band in town committed to reducing the cost of mas for parents of young children. Bandleaders Dexter Seusahai and Godfrey Wickham are uniting to bring 14 years of experience in costume building and event promotions, at home and abroad, to the annual Caribana Parade of the Bands, and King and Queen Show. TRIBAL KNIGHTS has announced its decision to provide costumes in its children’s section free of charge for youngsters under 12.
This powerful alliance represents a unique combination of creative and organizational expertise. The unstoppable duo has joined forces to make TRIBAL KNIGHTS the band to beat in 2007. Seusahai’s costumes for King, Queen, Male Individual and Junior Queen have won an impressive six first-place titles for Callaloo Mas Camp and Louis Saldenah Mas K Club. The inaugural presentation of TRIBAL KNIGHTS consists of seven delightfully colourful sections to be launched on Saturday, May 12 at the Ramada Hotel & Conference Centre (185 Yorkland Boulevard, Toronto.)
Dexter Seusahai is one of Toronto’s leading mas men. His award-winning costumes have decorated the streets and stages of Toronto, the Caymen Islands and Hong Kong. Seusahai entered the world of mas as the chef for Louis Saldenah Mas K Club, before making his biggest impact as a secret weapon costume builder for Saldenah and Callaloo. Where he goes, awards and recognition follow. Dexter’s deep love for the traditional arts of his native Trinidad and Tobago, and indeed the entire Caribbean, is evident in his attention to detail. TRIBAL KNIGHTS and its commitment to families is a key element to his long-term aspiration to establish a school of Caribbean cultural arts in Toronto. The entire TRIBAL KNIGHTS team is excited about proactively passing on the torch of mas to future generations.
Godfrey Wickham has shared his expertise in the entertainment industry for 14 years. The founder of the IslandVybz Entertainment began his public relations career promoting the Everton Soccer Club, before working alongside Trini South Boys. Through IslandVybz, Wickham has produced events in Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, New York and Toronto. Over the last four years, his passion for Caribbean culture led him to making mas, contributing to the efforts of Callaloo (Toronto) and Poison (Trinidad).
TRIBAL KNIGHTS invites you to a new era in masquerade. Join a winning team this Caribana.
Join Tribal Knights!
