Junkanoo
Junkanoo is an expression of Bahamian culture. It is now the national festival of the Bahamas and has its roots traced back to West Africa. The rhythmic yet powerful sounds of Junkanoo are produced by traditional Bahamian instruments for example, the goat skin drum or Goombay drum, cowbells and bugel. The costumes of Junkanoo in modern times are comprised of several basic materials, cardboard, metals (aluminum), crepe paper for color, glitter, rhinestones and glass for decorations. Junkanoo is simply a gift given to a people by their ancestors.
