Moko Jumbie
Moko Jumbie is a traditional stilt dancer originating from the Caribbean, particularly associated with Trinidad and Tobago. These performers wear colorful costumes and masks, often representing spirits or ancestors. The stilt-walking adds an impressive height, allowing them to engage with audiences from above.
The practice of Moko Jumbie is rooted in African traditions and has evolved over time. It is commonly seen during festivals, parades, and cultural celebrations, where the dancers entertain crowds with their acrobatic movements and rhythmic music. Moko Jumbie serves as a symbol of cultural heritage and community spirit in Caribbean societies.
