Jonkonnu is one of the oldest dance forms in Jamaica which was performed on the three holidays allowed to the enslaved Africans in the English-speaking Caribbean - Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
Jonkonnu is a band of masquerades usually performed in towns and villages at Christmas time. The characters included the King and Queen, Cow Head, Horse Head, Pitchy Patchy, red Indians and Belly Woman.
The costumed characters were accompanied by musicians who played well-known traditional songs on the bamboo fife, bass and rattling drums, shakas and graters.
