Author: Farrah Chow-Quan Language: English Episodes: 27
Farrah Chow-Quan hosts In The Mix With Carnival Kicks, a vibrant exploration of the powerful cultural and economic forces behind major celebrations. This podcast moves beyond the spectacle of sequins and sound systems to delve into the intricate worlds of Caribbean Carnivals and international music festivals. Each conversation is a deep dive into the real stories: the designers and artisans who build breathtaking costumes, the entrepreneurs who navigate the demanding logistics of event planning, and the chefs and vendors whose food becomes part of the experience. You’ll hear from creators and business minds who operate at the intersection of beauty, fashion, and commerce, discussing how these vibrant events are built from the ground up. It’s about the rhythm of business as much as the rhythm of the music, offering a genuine backstage pass to the passion and strategy that make these global gatherings possible. Tune in for a rich, multifaceted audio journey that captures the true spirit of celebration, from sketchbook to stage.
