THE WEIRD AND WONDERFUL NOTTING HILL NOTTING HILL BIZZARRE
|
Notting Hill is the biggest and most extravagant carnival in London. It was born in 1964 and has become the second largest carnival in the world: every year the carnival attracts up to 1 million participants. The street party was created from the Caribbean community’s (Trinidad and Tobago) nostalgia- a piece of the Caribbean brought to life on the streets of London. It is indeed a fine example of the varied ethnicity that makes London what it is: mixed, bizarre, full of colour, uninhibited, and sometimes even extreme.
Notting Hill e' il carnevale londinese per eccellenza. Nato nel 1964, e' diventato il secondo piu' grande carnevale al mondo, contando ogni anno una partecipazione di piu' di 1 milione di persone. Nato dalla spinta e dalla nostalgia della comunita' caraibica (Trinidad e Tobago) e' una buona rappresentazione della Londra interetnica del nostro immaginario: mescolata, bizzarra, colorata, disinibita, talvolta estrema.
