Plenty of video documentation regarding it on youtube. These are the traditional mardi gras celebrations as they were done in the 1800s...not the big city parades you see on tv.





That looks like a lot of fun... always down for some Louisiana Mardi Gras action, though I think most of those costumes look more scary than they do fun.

I have to say though, what is up with this dude's violin? I've never seen so much rosin dust in my life. Dude really needs to take care of his violin. Is this a thing for fiddlers, as opposed to concert violinists? Kind of like the NAVY Chief's coffee cup, you don't clean it because the more staining, the more established it is?

How dare you, how dare you




It's not racist, it's speciel appropriation.
