Junkanoo

Junkanoo music is the local music of the Bahamas. Junkanoo music is a rich, expressive style of percussive music with heavy African influences. Traditional Bahamian weddings often include a Junkanoo rush-out, which is a parade of musicians dressed in masks and armed with cowbells, whistles, and drums.

After they marched around the pool most of the guests joined in the dance. The headresses were passed from guest to guest.

These are our friends, Connie and Dan, from Chicago.
