The Real History of Carnival: Where Did It Come From?

Where did Carnival really come from? Was it created in Europe, Africa, the Caribbean—or was the Carnival we know today created through the meeting of several different cultures?

In this episode of The Oracle 19 Podcast, we explore the fascinating history and origins of Carnival. We go back centuries to examine European pre-Lenten celebrations, African festivals and masquerade traditions, the transatlantic slave trade, colonialism, emancipation, and the development of Caribbean Carnival.

We take a closer look at Trinidad and Tobago, where African descendants transformed Carnival into a powerful expression of freedom, resistance, music, dance and cultural identity. We discuss Canboulay, Mas, calypso, steelpan and Soca—and how these traditions helped create the Carnival experience recognized around the world today.

We also explore the development of Brazil’s Carnival, the rise of samba, and how Caribbean migration carried Carnival traditions to Toronto’s Caribana, New York City’s Caribbean Carnival and London’s Notting Hill Carnival.

Carnival is much more than beautiful costumes, dancing and partying. Behind the celebration is a complicated history involving religion, slavery, African cultural survival, colonialism, resistance, emancipation and freedom.

So who really created Carnival? And how did a centuries-old tradition become one of the world’s largest cultural celebrations?
