The Revellers

Description

Those who take part in Trinidad’s carnival are known as Revellers. Some take part wearing costumes. They are commonly described as “playing Mas” (i.e. Masquerading). Indeed, the streets are turned into a ballroom and everyone “wears a new mask”. The Revellers wine to ground or jump up in the air… you can’t help yourself when the pulsating beat of the pan or the tinny sound of other instruments take hold of you.
Before you know it, you’re in a trance, chipping down the road with an enchanted sea of people…
