Bahamas Samurai. Junkanoo Festival.

Junkanoo Festival. The Culture of the Bahamas in St Augustine. This man playing a Samurai (bushi) in Junkanoo Festival. The man was moving so quickly to the rhythm of island music, that it was very difficult for me to make a photograph with this manual lens. Even at this exposure. He all time moves, danced and even vibrate to the rhythm of the music festival. A very artistic person. He reminds me Eddie Murphy in his early films... Slightly later, after parade, it was reggae music. I wish the city municipal authorities will hold such shows more often - it will attract a lot of tourists in St Augustine.
