THE QUEEN OF CARNIVAL CONTENT - TRINIDAD CARNIVAL DIARY

THE QUEEN OF CARNIVAL CONTENT - TRINIDAD CARNIVAL DIARY

Author: Farrah Chow-Quan January 14, 2020 Duration: 56:05

For as long as I've been a masquerader living in the US, I've been able to rely on the content provided by www.trinidadadcarnivaldiary.com

Where would we as returning expats turn to, or where would the carnival tourist seeking knowledge on this very foreign festival get the details of how to join a band, what to wear, where to go?

If it wasn't for Saucy, the anonymous blogger bringing you all the deets, we would be lost!

Listen in as we talk about getting started during the early days of blogging, maneuvering contentious content and growing beyond the blog to doing great things in this space that she's passionate about - Carnival!


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.
