"Numerically small but culturally significant, Moko Jumbies—the Caribbean’s unique kind of stilt walkers—have a long lineage in Carnival. These magical, towering figures, regarded as ancestral spirits, are a direct manifestation of the African cultural heritage which crossed the Atlantic during the era of slavery. It is a tradition with roots that perhaps go further back than any other cultural form in modern-day Carnival. The oldest written reference is an account by William Young in 1791, which first described the “moco jumbos” in St. Vincent. The retention of this tradition in the region for over 200 years, and its ongoing contemporary evolution, make the Moko Jumbie one of the Caribbean’s most precious cultural treasures."

As our NEW FIRE Family grows, we aim to develop meaningful relationships with members of the physical community in which our festival is held.

In 2018, our team collaborated with Wasa's Adopt a River, SWMCOL and EMA's ICare TT for a clean up of the Acono River which neighbours Ortinola Estate.

This year, as we return to the village of Acono in Maracas Valley for NFF2019, we continue to create opportunities for environmental, economic and social benefits to the community.

How do you let go? Blessings.
