The annual Carnival in Trinidad dates back to the 1780s, when an influx of immigrants from the French West Indies emigrated to Trinidad in response to the Cédula de Población. [10] [11] [12] These immigrants included French planters and 'free coloureds' (free people of mixed race), [13] [11] [14] as well as enslaved Africans.
J'ouvert (/ dʒ uː ˈ v eɪ / joo-VAY) (also Jour ouvert, Jouvay, or Jouvé) [1] [2] [3] is a traditional Carnival celebration in many countries throughout the Caribbean. The parade is believed to have its foundation in Trinidad & Tobago, with roots steeped in French Afro-Creole traditions such as Canboulay.
The Carnival Road March is the musical composition played most often at the "judging points" along the parade route during a Caribbean Carnival. Originating as part of the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival, the term has been applied to other Caribbean carnivals. There it was and is still viewed as a musical genre.
A wide variety of costumes (called "mas") depicting traditional Trinidadian Carnival characters are seen throughout the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival. After emancipation in 1838, freed slaves combined African masking culture with French colonial influence [ 1 ] to create characters that parodied the upper-class customs and costumes of Carnival.
