I was lucky enough to be invited to document the Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival in Nassau, Bahamas, which gives visitors a chance to not only experience traditional Bahamian culture, music and food, but to enjoy some of the modern manifestations of the music scene, as well as the opportunity to “jump up” and parade with one of the “road fever” companies that march in the streets.
The main headliner of the concert portion was the amazing Wyclef Jean. I had the distinct honor of speaking with him, and the interview is posted on Afropop Worldwide, where he talks about his Haitian influences, vodou, and the Junkanoo festival. Enjoy!
