Evangeline, is an avid Carnival goer, she first attended Trinidad Carnival in 2023! The year of Hard Fete! She had such an eye opening experience, fun and more, all whilst having specific dietary requirements and not consuming alcohol.
DJ Fasmwa host of Prescription Radio and Prescription Night Club, DJ Fasmwa has been attending Carnival since 2010, inspired as a child, growing up in the Caribbean community in Sydney during the 1990's among some very inspirational musicians, he learnt and understood the traditions and the passion that these music men were teaching, disseminating and or talking about. Without the internet picturing the Iron being played, picturing the 100's of Steel pans, 8 hours shifts of beating the Iron on the road for Monday and Tuesday! I mean WOW! In addition the tradition of the Steel Pan! It was these stories that inspired or put Trinidad Carnival on his bucket list of things to do!
