The Essence of Carnival

Read more about the history of Carnival to get a more rounded look at these festivities.  Here are a couple of excerpts:    

"...The Caribbean Carnival...is a celebration of the end of slavery as well as an affirmation of survival.

The four elements of Carnival are song, music, costume and dance, which translate as calypso/soca, steelpan, mas (masquerade) and 'wine' (dance)...."

"...Costumes...are important symbols of African tradition.  Feathers were used as headdresses to symbolize the ability to persevere and rise above anything and to take flight on the journey into spiritual rebirth...." Read More.

MaHDD Energy Infusion for 2K16

Doing what you love can be hard, and ESPECIALLY so when it comes to the Music Entertainment industry.   It gets even HARDER when the genre of music isn't mainstream like R&B, Rock, Rap, Country, etc., and the overwhelming competition makes it seem like an impossible feat.  Everyone's grabbing for something...and stepping on each other to do so if deemed necessary.
