Laventille
Laventille is a suburb of Port of Spain in Trinidad and Tobago. It is administered by the San Juan–Laventille Regional Corporation. Etymology The name ''Laventille'' hearkens back to colonial times, especially when the French dominated the cultural traditions of the island. One etymological derivation of the name is because the northeast trade winds come to this part of the island of Trinidad before reaching any other part of colonial Port of Spain – hence the metaphorical name ''"La Ventaille"'' (''"The Vent"''). Geographically, it is the source of Orographic precipitation for the capital city. Arts and culture Laventille is the place where steel pan was born, and the birthplace of innovative world-renowned tuners such as Rudolph Charles and Bertie Marshall. As the heart of the steelpan world, this is where pioneer Winston "Spree" Simon lived and created one of the century's new acoustical musical instruments. Laventille is the original home to Desperadoes Steel Orch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
