Sobeit Ltd launched their 2013 Carnival presentation Aqua 70/30 at their mascamp at Dennis Mahabir Street, Woodbrook. The band is led by events co-ordinator Maurice Chevalier, formerly event co-ordinator and PR for Brian MacFarlane.
The team involves a number of former MacFarlane and Minshall collaborators as well as a number of Trinidad's leading upcoming visual artists. Aqua 70/30 examines the eternal equation 70/30 of water to matter, 70 per cent of the human body is water, 70 per cent of the earth's surface is water.
Sobeit Ltd's presentation explores the mystery of water and its role in man's life. In a press release, the band's organisers said there will be a lot of surprises on the road with Aqua 70/30. They intend to put out 20 sections, two kings and two queens, section leaders, special individuals, and floor members.
Bandleader Chevalier says, "There will be room for all kinds of masqueraders: those who love less costume and more freedom; those who want to be creative but sexy; and those who want to play mas and disappear into a character...A band should provide an arena for everyone to enjoy themselves."
