Bahamian Junkanoo Cowbell — Cover

About Bahamian Junkanoo Cowbell

Junkanoo is the Bahamas' explosive Boxing Day and New Year street parade — a riot of acid-bright crepe paper pasted into towering costumes, driven by goatskin drums and brass cowbells on Bay Street, Nassau. This design system channels that energy: hot orange, electric pink, sour lime, and screaming yellow layered against deep night black, with dense fringed textures and hand-cut geometry that celebrates the ephemeral craft of the parade.
