Culture: an interesting fusion of old traditions and new generations. In Carnival, influenced by African slaves and French colonisers, is the prominent presence of the Jab Molassi. Commonly referred to as ‘Jab-Jab’, revelers covered in oil march through the streets to the rhythm of their own drums, alongside the newer addition of revelers covered in colourful paint. This is a unique aspect of the Carnival and showcases the creativity in the culture. Other displays of culture can be found in performances showcasing folk tales and folk dances, the work of local artist and craftsman and the sounds of calypso music.
