With its beautiful location at the
foothills of the Maya Mountains and
bordered by streams, the ancient
Maya site of Lubaantun provides a
mystical setting for Sunday’s GrandFinale.
CacaoFest brings you a
day of history and
culture, fabulous steel
pan music and Maya
dance, along with great
local arts, crafts and
food for sale.
Lubaantun is a Late Classic Maya site,
distinctive for its architectural style
and ‘rounded corners’, the many clay
figures found at the site, and themythical ‘Crystal Skull’.
Join Dr John Morris, Research
Director at the Institute of
Archaeology to learn more about
ancient Maya history, and for your
guided tour of Lubaantun.
Visiting from Chetumal, the FolkloricBallet of Quintana Roo continues the
CacaoFest tradition of featuring Maya
dances, with their interpretation of
the Maya legend of the creation of
Man and Woman. Don’t miss their
performance at 3.30pm!
Lubaantun event is sponsored by Institute of Archaeology, Institute of
Creative Arts, Toledo Cacao Growers
Association, and San Pedro Columbia
Village Council
In 1992 a lecturer at University
College Belize formed a steel band,
made up of college students and
faculty staff. That lecturer was Dr
Colville Young, now Sir Colville
Young, Governor General of Belize.
The UCB Steel band quickly made a
name for itself in the entertainment
world, but as the student pannists
graduated they were no longer
eligible for membership, and so
formed the Pantempters Steel
Orchestra, led by Lynn Young.
CacaoFest is delighted
that the Pantempters
will be performing at
Lubaantun, not only
e n t e r t a i n i n g t h e
audience, but equally
importantly inspiring
f u t u r e y o u n g
musicians.
One such example i s the
Panerrifix Steel Band
from Our Lady of Guadalupe School in
Belmopan.
Formed in 2005 under the direction
of Julietta Burrowes-Lewis, the Band
has performed at several events,
including Carnival and Independence
Day celebration parades.
As well as producing a great sound,
the Band has experienced first-hand
the positive influence of music on
their lives, with several members
excelling academically, and becoming
role models for their friends. With
international performances in
Denver, Colorado, already under
their belt the Panerrifix are set to go
from strength to strength!
