Equator brings a Latin and Indian flavour to the Ashford Carnival
 
The Equator World Music Series - a celebration of world music, dance and theatre, will be bringing a Latin and Columbian flavour to the Ashford Carnival this year with dancers from the high profile Mandinga Arts Company who have previously taken part in the Notting HIll Carnival.  There will be Indian dhol drummers accompanying them that will add an international flavour to the procession.  Artistic director Priti Paintal says “ We are very happy to be involved in the Carnival this year and we hope to contribute more international artists next year in partnership with the Ashford Carnival Association.  The workshops that we set-up with international artists will we help more children and people being involved.  The Carnival should be a joyous occasion for all communities to take part in and we would like to encourage and support more cultural diversity within this event. “
