Album DescriptionThe Notting Hill Carnival has become a UK institution and is held annually over August bank holiday in west London. Like Glastonbury or The Big Chill, you don't have to attend to know exactly what it's about - a fusion of music, dancing and community that is a significant event in the summer calendar. This collection is a fantastic one-stop shop introduction to the sounds and thrills of Carnival, compiled by DJs Daddy Ernie, Martin Jay, Calvin Francis and Dave VJ. It includes tracks of old-school soul, regaae, ska, hip hop, a splash of soca, and is designed to be enjoyed by all those who regularly attend Carnival and all those who've always wondered what it must be like.
