Caribbean Carnival – Wikipedia

Caribbean carnival It is the term used to define the events that take place in many states of the Caribbean islands also extended to the colonizing countries (France, Great Britain) and nations traditionally and culturally connected to them ^{[ without source ]} .

The Caribbean Carnival derives from the Carnival of Trinidad and Tobago based on folklore, culture, religion and traditions that originate and founded in the Spanish, French and British colonizations as well as by the transmission of uses and customs of non -native populations imported with the “slave sections” . The modern Caribbean Carnival consists in manifesting numerous disciplines ranging from “Playing Mas”/Masquerade to Calypso music, from the appointment of the King or Monarch of Calypso to the Panorama competition (Steel Band), from J’ouvert to stickfighting fights.
