To­ba­go Cor­re­spon­dent

The fourth an­nu­al To­ba­go Car­ni­val burst with colour as thou­sands of mas­quer­aders and spec­ta­tors flood­ed the streets be­hind bands like Fog An­gels, Icon­ic Mas, Bago Limers, and Jade Mon­key. Paint, mud, oil, and pow­der blend­ed with the rain, but noth­ing could damp­en the mood. So­ca thun­dered, rev­ellers chipped, and the is­land erupt­ed in­to pure cel­e­bra­tion.
