Jouvert in St. Maarten: No Time to Sleep
The word comes from the French saying "jour ouvert" or morning open and in the Caribbean it is considered the largest street party for any carnival celebration. But in St. Maarten it has the unique twist as it centres on "the Great Salt Pond." Traditionally the St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation hosts specific soca and calypso related events on stage at Carnival Village with the intention of "warming up" revellers for the round the pond jam. What is also true for this time of year is that revellers generally start lining the streets by the hundreds around 3:00am, some of whom would have just awoken from their sleep in preparation for the event.
Then with the start of the music from bands hoisted on trailers, the crowd of literally thousands, set off down the Walter Nisbeth Road from the Carnival Village. By day break you would see the creative dress of many who make personal costumes to add flavour to the celebration. And as is customary, everyone are in an exceptional jolly mood, drinking and having fun, till the sun comes up and its back to the Carnival Village where the celebration ends. J'ouvert (pronounced 'joovay' locally) involves calypso and soca bands and their followers dancing to different rhythms.

In 2007, Henson also starred in Life Support with Queen Latifah, Tony Rock and Tracee Ellis Ross, The Salon with Vivica Fox, The Last Stand and April Fools -- a thriller released in July. Henson recently finished filming a lead role in Fox’s A Good Man Is Hard to Find. He stars as “Clarence” alongside Hill Harper, Darius McCrary, Golden Brooks and Deborah Cox. In The Express – based on the incredible true story of college football hero Ernie Davis – Henson will star as Jim Brown alongside Dennis Quaid, Charles Dutton, Rob Brown, Omar Benson Miller (expected release date October 2008). Henson produced, directed and choreographed an off-Broadway musical entitled Dreams Do Travel in 2005 and starred in the hit play The Fabric Of A Man.
