She marches in the opening parade of the Women Vendors of the Fruit and Vegetable Market in Basse-Terre; she tastes the local street food of Bokit; she learns the rhythms of Gwo-Ka, the soul of the islands; and she witnesses the powerful marches honoring the islands’ ancestors with Mas Ka Klé!
The time has come to officially celebrate Carnival in The Guadeloupe Islands! Mickela takes you from the morning celebrations of the Pajama Parade to the festive parade that night with Waka Chiré Band, followed by the solemn and powerful procession with Akiyo Mas Band on Ash Wednesday, a celebration completely unique to the Guadeloupean culture.
