	Canboulay Riots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The riots are still commemorated today and canboulay music is an important part of the music of Trinidad and Tobago notably the use of steel pans which were the descendants of percussion instruments banned in the 1880s.

	TriniView.com - Canboulay Riots
		The famous and often-cited Canboulay riots which took place in Port of Spain at Carnival 1881 were in fact quite minor to the serious and widespread clashes which marred the carnival in San Fernando and Princes Town 100 years ago.
		Canboulay, or properly written "Cannes Brulees", means "burning cane", and this commemorated the putting-out of cane fires during slavery.
		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.

	The Trinidad Guardian -Online Edition Ver 2.0
		The re-enactment of the Canboulay Riots of 1881 (when the people of Port-of-Spain made it clear to Governor Freeling, Captain Baker and the colonial government that they were not about to compromise their freedom) on Carnival Friday morning was a deeply moving event of resistance by the jamettes, bois men and women.
		To hear and see the colonial governor relent in the face of the determination by the masqueraders to commemorate in ritualistic form their suffering under slavery is to begin to understand the complex post-slavery development.
		It requires now a similar staging of the 1884 riots in Princes Town when groups of Indian immigrants said to the British establishment that there were parts of themselves that they were not about the relinquish whatever the price they were required to pay.
