Oh friend, you made me long for the carnivals in southern Venezuela.
Specifically the Carnivals of "El Callao" in the state of Bolivar, declared by UNESCO as Cultural Patrimony of Humanity.
In this party predominates the music Calipso. But it is a Calipso of Venezuela called "Calipso del Callao". It is different from the calypso of Trinidad in which steelband predominate.
I have some cousins that live there and have a group, I have lived unforgettable experiences with them.
they have created their own vibe mixing in Reggae, Dancehall and popular music along with Soca..
Bredda, that fusion must sound excellent!
Carnival season is just about to kick off on the island of Jamaica starting Friday January 24th-April 22nd.
There are many holidays!
Hugs Bredda!
