International Financial Centre. The lower<br />
walls <strong>of</strong> the Centre are strikingly adorned<br />
with giant prints <strong>of</strong> the works <strong>of</strong> local artists,<br />
but the main outdoor gallery is just west <strong>of</strong><br />
the city centre at the Queen’s Park Oval, the<br />
home <strong>of</strong> <strong>Trinidad</strong> cricket.<br />
The ground takes up an entire block <strong>and</strong><br />
on all the external walls there are more <strong>of</strong><br />
our great paintings, freely available for all<br />
to admire day <strong>and</strong> night. Lovers <strong>of</strong> art <strong>and</strong><br />
culture taking an evening stroll around the<br />
outdoor gallery, may find their ears assailed<br />
by a melodic mélange <strong>of</strong> musical notes<br />
floating enticingly through the air, for three<br />
panyards are within easy walking distance.<br />
Step through the gates, <strong>and</strong> there is<br />
a strumming <strong>and</strong> a drumming, pannists<br />
beating <strong>and</strong> sweating, dancing <strong>and</strong> jumping<br />
to the pulsating rhythm. Tenors high <strong>and</strong><br />
tenors low, double second <strong>and</strong> triple cello,<br />
harmony <strong>and</strong> counterpoint in mesmerising<br />
flow, backed by the thunder from the bass<br />
row. It is music that epitomises the people<br />
<strong>and</strong> the place.<br />
<strong>Trinidad</strong> sits at the tectonic crossroads<br />
<strong>of</strong> old Gondwanal<strong>and</strong>, torn from South<br />
America by a drifting Caribbean Plate.<br />
Exposed <strong>and</strong> submerged by fluctuating<br />
seas, it now is the link, geographically<br />
<strong>and</strong> biologically between South America<br />
<strong>and</strong> the Caribbean. Its peoples represent<br />
a history <strong>of</strong> ancient migrations, fifteenth<br />
<strong>and</strong> sixteenth century explorations <strong>and</strong><br />
conquest, slavery, exploitation <strong>and</strong><br />
emancipation. Free yourself, experience<br />
the culture <strong>and</strong> the nature, <strong>and</strong> immerse<br />
yourself in pleasure, leisure <strong>and</strong> learning.<br />
