In  Jamaican   popular culture , a  sound system  is a group of  disc jockeys ,  engineers  and  MCs  playing  ska ,  rocksteady  or  reggae  music. The sound system is an important part of Jamaican culture and history. he sound system concept first became popular in the 1950s, in the ghettos of  Kingston .  DJs  would load up a truck with a generator, turntables, and huge speakers and set up street parties. In the beginning, the DJs played American  rhythm and blues  music, but as time progressed and more local music was created, the sound migrated to a local flavour. [1]  The sound systems were big business, and represented one of the few sure ways to make money in the unstable economy of the area. The promoter or DJ made his profit by charging admission and selling food and alcohol; often thousands of people were in attendance. By the mid 1950s, sound systems were more popular at parties than live musicians, and by the second half of the decade, custom-built systems began to a

J'ouvert  ( French pronunciation: ​ [ʒuver] ) is a large  street party  created in Trinidad held during  Carnival  though now celebrated throughout many  Caribbean  cultures, and subsequently in areas where Caribbean peoples have immigrated.  J'Ouvert  is likely a gallicization of  jou ouvè,  the  Antillean Creole French  term which means "dawn" or "daybreak" J'ouvert is celebrated in many countries throughout the Caribbean. J'ouvert is also celebrated in many places outside the Caribbean as part of Carnival celebrations throughout the year, with the biggest celebrations happening in places around the world with large  Caribbean   ex-pat  communities. Traditionally, the celebration involves  calypso / soca  bands and their followers dancing through the streets. The  festival  starts well before dawn and peaks a few hours after sunrise.

There are up to 2 million attendees at Carnival every year, plus 40,000 volunteers and 9,000 police. Tourists only make up about 20 percent of the Carnival crowd. That means that Carnival is as big as 11 Glastonbury festivals It’s the second largest carnival in the world, just behind Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro and the largest street festival in Europe. Carnival contributes around £93 million to London’s economy. Policing costs just £6 million. The carnival tradition has its distant roots in the eighteenth-century Trinidadian Canboulay processions, back in the dark days before Red Stripe. There are five different aspects of carnival: masquerade, soundsystems, steel pan bands, calypso and and soca. There are around 40 static soundsystems, ten steel pan bands and 70 performing stages The costume troupes are known as ‘Mas bands’ – ‘Mas’ meaning masquerade. Anything between 80 and 300 people take part in each Mas costume band. Early Mas costumes at Carnival were inspired by Wes
