WHO ARE WE? WE ARE LEGENDS!

A "legend" is a depiction of human events of historical figures that are believed by both storyteller and listeners to have taken place within our history, and to possess qualities that make you want to BELIEVE!! In the Spirit of Carnival, TRIBAL KNIGHTS™ Band Leader Dexter Seusahai has set his sights this year on sharing his interpretation of LEGENDS of the World as we take to the road at D' Toronto Carnival 2011. This year, TRIBAL KNIGHTS™ is proud to bring you 12 beautiful sections each capturing the beauty and wonder of LEGENDARY people and places.
