Elimu has been participating in Carnival since 1980.
Our aim is to promote the arts of Carnival, particularly among young people.
To be innovative, to be unique, to be inclusive.
To experiment. To support others. To teach. Each One Teach One.

The Fandango is our warm, artistic embrace of artists, artisans and audiences.
We bring famalay and friends into our embrace for Carnival 2019, performing at Notting Hill, Kingston and Hackney Carnivals and the Beijing International Tourism Festival in China.
Each artist has interpreted the Fandango in their own way.
A Special Feature is our launch of ELEGANT MAS – a new and daring interpretation of the T-shirt Mas.
Not only a t-shirt. Not only Pretty. Not only Fun. Not only Dutty But Elegant. A Higher Mas.
