Canboulay aka Cannes Brulees, which means "burning cane". This commemorated the putting-out of cane fires during slavery. After slavery it became one of the important and deep-rooted festivals of the black people and was marked by ribald dancing and the lighted flambeaus carried in the street.
The police always opposed this with vigour, claiming that the lighted flambeaus could burn down the town. The people, who always regarded the police as oppressors, resisted and resisted bitterly.During the period that Canboulay was observed on August 1, the anniversary of the Abolition of Slavery, it was easy to suppress the cult, but when this was crushed and the people started Carnival time, it became almost impossible to quell it, because the masses claimed the right to celebrate Carnival as they thought fit.
My character, Canboulay is here to start the burning of the flambeaus again, and to resist certain aspects of this Capitalistic celebration of which Carnival has evolved into. I will bring the fire and will not be suppressed by the masses of brainwashed jumbies.
