Trinidad and Tobago showed their solidarity with Palestine, Haiti, Congo, and Sudan at their Carnival in February this year. Mas has its roots in resistance and rebellion against enslavement and oppression.

“In Trinidad and Tobago, we regard the Moko Jumbie as a protector of the village, one who stands tall and looks out for evil... Traditional Mas is our village... The watermelon is a symbol of Palestinian resistance and persistence. It’s their symbol of Mas, their colours, and their strength. In solidarity—our canboulay, our freedom, our joy.”

— Excerpt from I am the Sign Man presentation in Traditional Mas 2024 (video source)

Moko Jumbies 🎭 are synanamous with Carnival and the Caribbean.

I’d look forward to seeing them during the parade and there’s always something mesmerizing about their costumes, the vibrant 🎨 colors, and how they’d dance while making their way up the street during the parade.

If you haven’t seen Moko Jumbies yet, I highly recommend attending St. Thomas 🇻🇮 carnival, which is taking place in April and into May. (Visitusvi.com for all the info.)
