Junkanoo [https://thebigcity.co.nz/artists/j/junkanoo]
Junkanoo were a percussive band from Christchurch who put out a split album release on Campbell McLay's Onset/Offset label in 1986, recorded at Arne van Bussell's Nightshift Studios. The name 'Junkanoo' stems from a festival that was originated during the period of African chattel slavery in British American colonies.

Boxing Day isn't a thing in the US, but apparently in Nassau it's like Mardi Gras or Carnival. I think I would trade this for Christmas. I would love to see this in person.

@nadinestorying @BlackMastodon We have this in The Bahamas too! We spell it “Junkanoo”. Growing up, it happened on Boxing Day and New Year’s. But to appeal to tourists year-round, it happens more often these days, mostly behind the walled gardens of mega resorts. Last I heard, they wanted it to coincide/be more of (?) a Carnival thing, which Bahamians did NOT want to do.
