Mashramani
The word Mashramani is derived from the Amerindian language and in translation means "the celebration of a job well done". Mashramani, sometimes referred to as "Mash", is usually observed on the 23rd day of February - Guyana's Republic Day - to commemorate the "Birth of the Republic". It is probably the most colorful of all the festivals. There are spectacular costume competitions, float parades, masquerade bands, and dancing in the streets to the accompaniment of steel band music and calypsos. Masquerades frequent the streets performing acrobatic dance routines, a vivid reminder of Guyana's African heritage. Calypso competitions with their witty social commentaries are another integral part of "Mash", and this culminates in the coronation of a King or Queen for the particular year. Today, Mash is one of the biggest events in Guyana. Thousands of Guyanese look forward to this event yearly as opportunity to socialize and spread their spirit and hospitality.
Mashramani Day
Everybody looks forward to Mash- the young, the old, everybody. Whether you are on the streets on Mash day or just in your home or at a friend's, the spirit of Mash inevitably seeps into the soul where you just have the desire to make the day a festive one.
With Guyana being as large as it is, people travel from miles out of town to be a part of the celebrations: children, food and all, because they see this day as a day of celebration. This year's Mashramani celebrations will be no different. People will come teeming from everywhere to relive the spectacle, to celebrate their independence.
The Mash Day depicts a hive of activity from Vlissingen and lrving streets all the way to the National Park, with an air of expectancy. Thousands of people summon to the streets to participate in the annual Mashramani celebrations, which has been a part of the Guyanese culture for over 30 years.
Mashramani Day is considered to be the ultimate party and 'you' day. A mental journey that most people think that there is nothing appropriate in their wardrobe for this day. Most people- both men and women alike- are dressed up in costumes that are bright and colorful. When it comes to costumes on Mash Day revelry is the name of the game; the more festive the costume the better.
The grandeur of our locals to capture themes around them and to come up with mind-boggling costumes will be on exhibition to make the spectator “ohhhh” and “ahhhh”. There is also a flurry of '100-man bands' as both the public and private sectors participate in this celebration, forgetting all other problems in order to promote a very unique part of our culture.
