Nyota wa R&B, Rihanna(23) jana aliwapagawisha ndugu, jamaa na marafiki nyumbani kwao Barbados kwa kucheza akiwa nusu uchi wakati wa sherehe ya kimila inayoitwa Kadooment.
R&B star Rihanna turned up the heat in her native Barbados on Monday when she donned a skimpy red outfit to take part in a local festival parade.
The ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker returned to the Caribbean island on Saturday to take centre stage at the colourful Kadooment Day celebrations, part of the Crop Over Festival to mark the end of the sugar cane crop harvest.
The beauty thrilled the crowds by dressing in a bejewelled red and gold bikini, fishnet stockings and matching feathered headdress.
Rihanna was spotted in her home country of Barbados, taking part in the local harvest festival parade, seen in a tiny red bikini, headress and fishnet stockings.
The country's historic celebration known as, Kadooment Day, has been around since the 17th century on sugar cane plantations. Barbados was the world's largest producer of sugar.
At the end of the sugar season, there was always a huge celebration to mark the culmination of another successful sugar cane harvest - the Crop Over celebration.
As the sugar industry in Barbados declined, so too did the Crop Over festival and in the 1940's the festival was terminated completely.
However, the festival was revived in 1974 and other elements of Barbadian culture were infused to make the extravaganza that exists today ..... an event that attracts thousands of people from across the globe.
It is comparable to Carnival in Trinidad. Like Carnival, it is an adventure, an experience of one's own. One difference, the Costumed revelers follow a fixed route so that it flows more like a parade.
