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!
