GLOBAL GIG GUIDE goes to Carnival!

Mardi Gras, a Christian tradition that relates to a period of hedonism before the abstemious days of Lent begin.

Venezia Suona includes classic work of Nino Rota, Afro Celt Sound System and The marching Bands Collision where drums and bagpipes face off against Brazilian percussionists, each group starting at opposite ends of Venice and colliding in a cacophony of sounds in historic St Marks Square.

floats, processions, and sounds of blues jazz and zydeco emanate from every nook and cranny of this vibrant city, with many clad in the traditional colors of purple green and gold, representing justice, faith and power.
