From the Dirty Dozen J'ouvert site:
Canboulay
J’ouvert Morning… 2AM…
Slowly – rife with anxiety, anticipation – revellers begin to assemble quietly. They are no longer permitted to assemble at this hour on this day for this purpose. Their birthright has been taken away from them; but they will not acquiesce easily.
As more and more revellers gather, the rhythm of the tambu-bambu begins to resonate. The inner flame of the masses ignites. No anxiety no more. In its place the spirit of defiance, the inextinguishable spirit of the people of T&T.
A circle clears; stick-fighters begin to practice their craft. Tonight, they will lead the riotous onslaught. They will lead the charge in taking back what is rightfully theirs.
Mud and paint cloaks the faces and bodies of the crowd. They will look as one; they will move as one. This is no time for dissent, no time for divisive squabbles.
A flambeau explodes in the distance. The flame frenzies the now massive gathering; the riddim section pounds the iron and drums with righteous fervour. In unison the revellers raise their horns to their lips and with an almighty breath they signal the start of the mas.
The clan sets foot to pitch and the madness ensues. No violence will mar the celebrations on this occasion. The powers-that-be know that this show of force cannot be overcome. The unadulterated jubilation is symbolic now moreso than ever before.
J’ouvert Morning… 4AM… Dirty Dozen J’ouvert is on the move.
In 2011 we invoke the spirit of the Canboulay Riots of 1881 and 1884. We remember and honour those souls that bequeathed to us the Greatest Show on Earth.
We offer you the opportunity to pay homage to the blood, sweat and tears of all those that stood up with a fiery spirit – defiantly – and said that these are our streets…and this…is our mas!
