Junkanoo rhythms include drums and cowbells
Junkanoo is a Caribbean festival involving masking, costumes, drumming, dance and parades. It is practiced in places including the Bahamas and Jamaica, with local differences in spelling and performance. Goatskin drums and cowbells help provide the dancing rhythm.
