For a salon on global Carnaval culture covering Brazil, Colombia, the Caribbean, and our very own Philly, as Geko Jones and Gregzinho come out from behind the decks to share their Carnaval travels across the hemisphere, and Geneva Hughes of Philly Carnival spreads the gospel of our homegrown traditions right here in the City of Brotherly Love.

++And more++

Sexy costumed dancers, live percussion by Jorge Rafael Garcia of Impacto Vallenato, masks for sale made by 4th graders at Moffet Elementary in Kensington, and a special midnight treat straight from New Orleans.

++Mardi Gras 2014++

Our very own Gregzinho braved the rain and the cold at Mardi Gras this year on hunt for Zulu floats, pretty Indians, and king cake. He found them all, of course, and can't wait to share with you on Friday night.
