From the latest to the Oldest
Since 1980, Elimu has participated in every Carnival except 2020
As a group of nationals from Trinidad and Tobago resident in London, we came together to recreate the Carnival we knew and loved
In the early years we copied everything we remembered about Mas, danced to the Road March of that year and created the band according to the best of Trinidad
After 40 years we have become an organisation that is truly diverse and inclusive
We are not afraid to experiment We are not timid in trying out different things
