Carnival Tuesday Mission: Chasing the Lost Tribe Through Port of Spain

A roaming photographer’s dispatch from the road — by Real World Fiction (RWF)

From the moment Carnival Tuesday broke over Port of Spain, the mission was clear.

Camera ready.
Zoom buttons locked.
Eyes scanning the road.

I was hunting for one band.

The Lost Tribe.

But Carnival doesn’t reveal its secrets easily.

For a moment, I was lost in the maze of music trucks, masqueraders, and streets vibrating with soca.

Then the message came.

Location update.

The band had been spotted moving past the judging point along South Quay, edging toward Wrightson Road.

The chase was on.
