J'ouvert
Date: Sunday 28th August, 2011 J’ouvert (pronounced "Jou-vay”) is the official opening of Carnival! It takes place around 6 a.m. on Carnival Sunday morning in Notting Hill and is an opening ritual enacted to the accompaniment of mud, oil, pitchforks and pointed tails in which the first revellers hit the streets jumping, dancing, and shouting – abetted, it must be admitted, by alcohol, but fueled more by the exhilaration of the occasion! In essence it is the celebration of the darker side of human life! This early "Mas" (a contraction of the French "jour ouvert", or "a new day"), is for the true die-hard player! Most revelers usually join sections in which hundreds of people party together! |
