The reason for no music in NY jouvert is that they say it will have to much violence just like at what happens on the parkway

they combine as many of the islands jouvert as possible into one. Bk jouvert will never be like the one from any respective island cuz it is more of a melting pot.

how is it different? well i went to stx jouvert this yr and honestly, i found that it SUCKED!!! all my years my friends made hype for that and finally i reached deh, i found myself literally yawning. since when dey suppose to have huge mile gaps between trucks? y am i seeing sun even b4 i left? even though at the end it got a lil better when ppl started throwing tings lef and ryt and dis woman cussing dat she eh wanna get her hair wet, never me and dat jouvert again. and i did not recall hearing pan music going down west, nor did dey had any raw iron and steel . and trust, my ppl and i been going from truck to truck. even my friends say that this yr flopped. every year alot of my friends go to rock, but i dont so i dunno how it is personally, althought i hear it is better than cruz.

but i do no both of dem start of when the sun big and shining......dat alone already lost points for me.

from my review im assuming that u expected a lil bit of home, esp seeing sun b4 u leave. but i think ill enjoy bk jouvert cause its more like home to me.
