OUR HISTORY |
 Harts
Carnival first began in 1961 with Edmond and Lil Hart and
their Carnival presentation ""Was this Greece"". For the
next 30 years Edmond and Lil continued to successfully
produce Carnival bands. Edmond was famous for patterns, Lil
for designing, and production was a family affair.
It was during these years that Lil became known as ""The
First Lady of Mas"", since a bandleader was traditionally a
position held by men.
Confusion reigned when Lil broke tradition and designed a
band with a fantasy theme rather than a historical one which
was common.
The Harts with the help of their children continued to
produce bands until October 1990 when Lil passed away
leaving three of her six children the dream of continuing
the Harts Carnival band.
 In
1991 Thais, Luis and Gerald successfully designed and
produced their band, Total Recall, in memory of Lil and to
this day each Harts Carnival Band produced for Trinidad is
dedicated to Lil... in her memory, in her honour, with her
dreams.
The Band has continued to design and produce costumes at the
highest standard and quality which has led them to become
one of the largest, safest and most popular bands in the
Caribbean. No other Band can compete with the Harts 47 years
of experience. |
