Immigrant culture and art
Notting Hill Carnival originated from 1964. It is the largest street culture and art festival in Europe, second only to the Rio de Janeiro Carnival in Brazil. Held in Notting Hill, West End of London, England, on the last weekend at the end of August every year, the theme is African and Caribbean culture, which is one of the symbols of British multiculturalism.
Because most of the black residents in Notting Hill are not from Africa, but from the Caribbean or other parts of Latin America. It is the immigrant culture in Notting Hill that gave birth to Notting Hill Carnival. In 1960s, West Indian immigrants living in Notting Hill held a carnival because of homesickness. At that time, only a small group of people were walking up and down the street wearing national costumes and banging on steel drums. Decades later, it has developed into a grand multi-cultural festival and one of the most popular tourist projects in London.
Among the carnivals around the world, Notting Hill Carnival attracts a large number of tourists from all over the world every year, and Notting Hill Carnival has always been famous for its rich Caribbean atmosphere. In costumes and masks, Notting Hill Carnival is like a fancy masquerade. On music, steel drum band, calypso songs and soga music are the soul of Notting Hill Carnival.
The strong rhythm of the steel drum is enough to make the heart beat faster immediately; Calypso mythology's songs often improvise lyrics according to the latest current politics and social hotspots, but the humorous and ironic nature of the lyrics remains unchanged.
The three-day carnival is mainly divided into three parts: the first day is a unique steel drum band display and competition. The musical instrument used is a steel drum made of petrol cans, which aims to attract local Caribbean immigrants to come out for a carnival and remind them not to forget their hometown.
The next day is Children's Day, and the community organizes children to dress up beautifully and paint their faces, so that the children can have a wonderful day.
On the third day, the carnival reached its climax, and the parade was singing and dancing on several streets in Notting Hill, attracting a large number of tourists. DJs from Britain and even all over the world play all kinds of music on the car mixer, such as Rizzo, Sokka and samba.
