4Saint Lucians at home and abroad who couldn't attend the Caribbean island's Carnival, which came to a close on Tuesday, had a harder time tuning in this year thanks to a decision not to have live television broadcasts of many of the festival's events, including the main calypso competition finals.Ireo teratanin'I Sainte Lucie na ny eo an-toerana na ny any am-pielezana ka tsy afa-nanatrika ny Karnivaln'ny nosy Karaiba, izay vao nifarana tamin'ny Talata 22 Jolay teo, dia nandalo fotoan-tsarotra tamin'ity taona ity noho ny fanapahan-kevitra noraisina amin'ny tsy nampitàna mivantana amin'ny fahitalavitra ny ankamaroan'ny hetsika nisy tamin'ilay fetibe, anisan'izany ireo famaranana ny fifaninana “Calypso” izay tena ankafizin'ny maro tokoa.
5The Carnival Planning and Management Agency's official statement cited loss of revenue as the reason behind the move:Nanambara tamin'ny fomba ofisialy ny Birao misahana ny Fikarakaràna sy ny Fitantanana ny Karnivaly fa ny fatiantoka no antony tao ambadik'iny fihetsika iny:
6This move serves to bolster the gate receipts of Lucian Carnival's signature events, which have traditionally aired live on television, and in some instances via web streaming platforms.Natao iny fihetsika iny mba ho enti-manohana sy mampitombo ny vola azo avy amin'ny vidim-pidiran'ireo hetsika nisy nandritra ny Karnivaly, izay nampitaina mivantana foana tamin'ny fahitalavitra hatramin'izay, ary indraindray aza amin'ny alalàn'ny sehatra fampitàna mivantana anaty tranokalan-tserasera.
7All shows will, however, continue to be broadcasted live via the festival's various radio partners.Na izany aza anefa dia mitohy hatrany ny fampitàna mivantana ireo seho rehetra amin'ny alalàn'ireo fampielezam-peo mpiara-miombon'antoka samihafa amin'ny fetibe.
8Carnivals throughout the region are a cultural tradition that harkens back to a pagan festival, initially observed by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans and subsequently adopted by the Catholic Church as the festival of Carne Vale - farewell to the flesh - that was introduced to the Caribbean with the arrival of European plantation owners.Ireo Karnivaly misy manerana ny faritra moa dia kolontsaina nentim-paharazana izay mamerina any amin'ny fetiben'ireo mpanompo sampy, ary narahan'ny Ejiptiana, ny Grika, sy ny Romana, tany ampiandohana, noraisin'ny Eglizy katolika izany taty aoriana, ka navadiny ho fetiben'i Carne Vale-fanaovam-beloma ny hena-izay tafiditra tao Karaiba niaraka tamin'ny fahatongavan'ireo voanjo Eropeanina.
9Slaves would watch their masters celebrate with extravagant masquerade balls, from which they were excluded, and mockingly imitate their behaviour.Nitazana ireo tompony nanatanteraka ny fankalazàna tamin'ny dihy amam-panovam-pitafy hafahafa ireo mpanompo, izay tsy nahazo nandray anjara tamin'izany, no sady naka tahaka ny fihetsik'izy ireo ombam-panesoana.
10When emancipation came, the former slaves turned the traditional carnival on its head by Africanising it with drums and movement and transforming it into a street festival that has evolved and endured to this day as a unique mix of music and masquerade.Novain''ireo mpanompo teo aloha tanteraka ny Karnivaly nentim-paharazana, rehefa nahazo fahafahana izy ireo, ka nomeny endrika afrikana miaraka amin'amponga, ary nanjary fetibe an-dalàm-be izany, izay nivoatra sy mitohy mandrak'ankehitriny, tsy manan-tsahala, mampifangaro ny mozika sy ny fanovàm-pitafy hafahafa.
11Part art, part theatre, carnival is a complex beast that melds fantasy and folklore, pan music with political satire.Misy ampahany zavakanto, misy ampahany teatra, biby manahirana ny Karnivaly izay mampifangaro ny nofinofin-tsaina sy ny vakodrazana, mozikan'ny vely lapoaly arahan'ny tsikera ara-politika.
12In keeping with the Roman Catholic calendar, Carnival Monday and Tuesday are usually celebrated on the days preceding Ash Wednesday, after which all pleasurable indulgences are meant to be forfeited during the 40 days of Lent that follow.Notazonina ny tetiandro Katolika Romana, ka ny Karnivaly izay natao ny Alatsinainy sy ny Talata dia ankalazaina foana amin'ireo andro mialohan'ny Alarobian'ny Lavenona, ary aorian'izay dia tokony atsahatra daholo ireo fanaranam-po mahafinaritra rehetra mandritra ny 40 andro manaraka, izay fotoan'ny Karemy.
13Fifteen years ago however, because of the stiff competition from other bigger and more popular events, such as Trinidad and Tobago Carnival, the Saint Lucian government moved the country's carnival celebrations to mid-July in the hope of attracting more tourists.Henjana anefa ny fifaninanana avy tamin'ireo hetsika hafa lehibe kokoa sy be mpankafy, toy ny Karnivalin' i Trinidad sy Tobago, ka voatery nafindran'ny Governemantan'i Sainte Lucie ny fankalazana ny Karnivalim-pirenena, dimy ambin'ny folo taona lasa izay, any amin'ny fisasahan'ny volana Jolay, mba hisarihana mpizahantany misimisy kokoa.
14As this year's Saint Lucian Carnival approached its climax, spectators and media personnel alike took to social media to voice their displeasure about the decision to ban any live coverage of events.Efa nanakaiky ny faratampony ny Karnivalin'i Sainte Lucie tamin'ity taona ity, ka noho izany, na ireo mpijery na ireo mpiasan'ny media dia samy nanambara ny hasosoran'izy ireo tamin'ny fandraràna ny fampitàna mivantana ny Hetsika rehetra natao nandritra ilay fetibe.
15Writing on the Facebook group “St. Lucians Aiming for Progress,” Clinton Reynolds was upset and felt that the rationale given for the decision was misguided:Tamin'ny alalàn'ny haino aman-jery sosialy, nosoratana tao amin'ny vondrona Facebook hoe “Mikatsaka ny fandrosoana ny mponin'i Sainte Lucie”, tezitra i Clinton Reynolds ary nahatsapa fa tsy mitombina ny antony nambara nandraisana iny fanapahan-kevitra iny:
16How regressive!Tena mihemotra !
17Did the organisers consider Saint Lucians in the diaspora, those in other countries and foreigners who might be interested in being part of Saint Lucia Carnival by viewing the competitions as they happen?Mba nieritreritra ireo teratanin'i Sainte Lucie any ampielezana, ireo any amin'ny firenen-kafa, sy ireo vahiny ve ny mpikarakara, izy ireo izay mety ho liana amin'ny fandraisana anjara amin'ny Karnivalin'i Sainte Lucie amin'ny fijerena ny fizotran'ny fifaninanana amin'ny fotoana itrangàn'izy ireny?
18And what about local fans who are physically UNABLE to attend?Ary ahoana koa ny momba ireo mpankafy eto an-toerana izay TSY afa-nanatrika ?
19I hope that decision shot your gate receipts through the roof!Antenaiko fa hameno ny vola azonareo tamin'ny vidim-pidirana ho tonga hatreny amin'ny tafo iny fanapahan-kevitra iny !
20Caron Tobierre believed that the organizers could actually make money from the live broadcasts:Noheverin'i Carn Tobierre fa tena tokony nahazo vola tokoa tamin'ny fampitàna mivantana ireo mpikarakara:
21If the care was about the pocket, believe me they would have considered the live broadcast more seriously because the opportunity for revenue making is huge if done properly.Raha toa ka ny paosy no olana, minoa ahy ianareo fa nandinika lalina sy matotra tsara ny mikasika ny fampitàna mivantana izy ireo, satria fomba tena fatratra ahafahana mampidi-bola tsy hita pesimpesenina izany raha toa ka atao amin'ny ara-dalàna.
22Over the last 3 years the revenue received from this was probably more than $50,000 and from discussions that began last year, the opportunities for increasing were very present.Tafakatra tokony ho 50.000 dolara no mihoatra ny vola azo nandritry ny 3 telo taona farany, ka araka ireo adihevitra niatomboka tamin'ny taon-dasa, dia tena mbola nisy tokoa ny fahafahana nampitombo izany.
23Shayne Cherry also maintained that the decision was regressive, especially for the country's artists, who could otherwise be gaining needed exposure:Nohantitranterin'i Shayne Cherry koa, fa fanapahan-kevitra tena mampihemotra iny, indrindra ireo artista eto amin'ny firenena, izay raha tsy izany, dia afaka nanararaotra niseho ho fantatr'olona, araka ny tena ilain'izy ireo:
24Looks like we're going in reverse…Somebody is fooling these poor artistes, and making them walk backward instead of moving forward.Toa miverin-dalana isika izany…Misy olona mitady hanadala ireo mpanakanto mahonena ireo ka manao izay ihemoran'izy ireo raha tokony handroso.
25Right now, nobody from caribana [a huge West Indian Carnival in Toronto], labour day [the big Caribbean parade in New York] or notting hill [an annual Carnival event in London] organising committees seeing you.Ankehitriny, tsy misy olona avy ao anatin'ireo komity mpikarakara ny “caribana” [Karnivaly goavam-ben'ny Indiana tandrefana ao Toronto], ny “labour day” [matso lehiben'ny Karaiba tanterahana ao New York] na koa “notting hill” [Karnivaly isan-taona, izay hetsika atao ao Londres] hahita anao.
26But you hoping to get a call for gig later.Nefa ianao manantena ny haharay antso an-telefaonina ho amin'ny fandraisana anjara ny amin'ny manaraka.
27You think machel [Montano, the region's biggest soca star, whose music has become synonymous with Carnival] doesn't understand the importance of a camera and making sure people see him…How you gonna make your name if you don't [get] your image out there.Mihevitra ianao fa i “Machel” [Montano, kalaza indrindra amin'ny Soca, eto amin'ny faritra, ny mozikany nanjary mitovy dika amin'ny Karnivaly] dia tsy mahafantatra ny maha-zava-dehibe ny kamerà ary manao izay tsy maintsy hahitan'ny olona azy…Amin'ny fomba ahoana moa ny hampalaza anao raha tsy manana sary aparitaka ianao.
28Nadia Cauzabon made the point that broadcasting the Carnival shows made them more accessible to Saint Lucians, even those on the island:Nomarihan'i Nadia Cauzabon fa mety nanamora ny fifanantonan'izy ireo amin'ny teratanin'i Sainte Lucie ny fampitàna mivantana ireo seho rehetra nisy nandritra ny Karnivaly, eny fa na ireo mitoetra eto amin'ny Nosy aza :
29I've been saying this since last week and I'm not even going to talk about the diaspora.Voalazako izany hatramin'ny herinandro lasa, mbola tsy hiresaka ny momba ireo any am-pielezana akory ny tenako.
30All those ‘national' events are in the north (Castries/Gros Islet).Ireo hetsika nasionaly rehetra ireo dia tany avaratra daholo no natao (Castries/Gros Islet).
31What about those of us who live in the rest of the island?Dia ahoana izany ny momba ireo amintsika monina amin'ny faritra hafa eto amin'ny Nosy ?
32How many can afford to commute to those shows?Firy amin'ireo no afaka nivezivezy namonjy ireo fampisehoana ?
33Chad Alexander echoed this point, saying that the idea of events being broadcast could actually make them seem bigger and more attractive.Niray feo tamin'izany koa I Chad Alexander raha nilaza fa ny fiheverana ny fampitàna mivantana ireo hetsika rehetra dia mety nampanjary azy ireo ho toy ny goavana sy manintona kokoa.
34He was also surprised at the weak marketing efforts for the festival, which, to his mind, should have been amped up considering that broadcasting was no longer an avenue with which to promote the carnival calendar:Nahagaga azy koa ny fahosàn'ny ezaka natao mikasika ny haivarotry ny fetibe, izay araka ny heviny, tokony natao manotrokotroka satria tsy ny fampielezam-peo sy ny fahitalavitra intsony izao no entina ampahafantarana ny tetiandron'ny karnivaly:
35I don't pretend to know anything about marketing, sales and events but from the point of view of Joe Public, the staging of quality productions accompanied by live broadcast can serve to create that ‘promotional vibe' that makes people want to be a part of this festival…[the] ‘bandwagonist' effect.Tsy mihambo ho mahalala zavatra mikasika ny haivarotra, ny fivarotana ary ny hetsika goavana aho, nefa kosa araka ny fiheveran'ny olon-tsotra, ny fampisehoana vokatra tsara kalitao miaraka amin'ny fampitàna mivantana dia efa miteraka rivom-panentanana sy fampahafantarana ”izay mamporisika ny olona mba ho isany ho ao anatin'ny fetibe”…(ny) vokatry ny “bandwagon”.
36And whether we realise it or not, it actually serves the dual role of marketing for next year's events.Ary na vitantsika izany na tsia, dia tena manatanteraka ny andraikitra roa soson'ny haivarotra mihitsy izy ho an'ny hetsika amin'ny taona ho avy.
37With live broadcasting, some st. lucian somewhere will make plans to make next year's carnival…and encourage their non st. lucian friends to come along.Noho ny fampitàna mivantana, any ho any, misy teratanin'I Sainte Lucie mikasa ny hanao karnivaly amin'ny taona manaraka….ary hamporisika koa ny naman'izy ireo tsy avy ao Sainte Lucie mba ho tonga.
38With all the technological options available these days, though, could there be another option?Noho ny hamaroan'ny safidy ara teknolojika misy ankehitriny anefa, mety misy angamba safidy hafa koa ?
39One Facebook user from the diaspora, Kermz Francis, suggested that Saint Lucia's Carnival could have had its cake and eaten it too, had the festivities been pay-per-view: “There is merit in both sides of the argument but I see no harm in just charging a fee for people who want to view the shows live.”Misy zanaka ampielezana mpampiasa ny facebook, Kermz Francis, nanoro hevitra hoe, ny Karnivalin'i Sainte Lucie dia tokony nahazo ny anjara-mofomaminy ary nihinana izany koa, raha toa ka nandoavana sarany-isaky-ny fijerena lanonana. “Samy misy maha tsara azy ny lafiny roa amin'ny adihevitra, saingy tsy misy maharatsy ny fanovàna fotsiny ny hetra aloan'ireo te-hijery ny fampitàna mivantana “.
