The *(Relate)able Podcast: Carnival - An Expression Of Freedom
01:14:20||Season 3, Ep. 12Episode 12It's Carnival Season, everyone! In February, all three hosts participated in carnival celebrations from different islands. Therefore, we found it appropriate to engage in a discussion with one of Saint Lucia’s Cultural Icons, Dr. Adrian Augier, regarding the evolution of carnival from its traditional roots towards a more commercialized direction. We explore how both aspects coexist, each depending on the other for survival, while striving to maintain the authentic essence of what carnival signifies to us.This week, Under The Mango Tree returns, transporting you to Martinique carnival, where you can immerse yourself in the chants of "Libérez le siwo" (Liberate the Siwo) and the rhythmic drumbeats that evoke a deep sense of nostalgia and spiritual connection to our ancestors.If you have any feedback, comments, or for sponsorship opportunities, be sure to get in touch with us via email on relateablepodcast@gmail.com or via Instagram on @the_relatable_podcast_ Remember the Les Bohemes early bird special ends on March 31st so please book early to save some cash!

There was so much to talk about, and so little time so watch this space as we may need to run part two. **Disclaimer if you are triggered by this topic then we understand if you choose to skip this week, we love you and we care that you feel safe with us so it’s arite!There’s no UTMT this week, however we have an announcement… So, your favorite *(Relate)able hosts will be teaming up with one of our favorite sponsors LesBohemes on this year’s retreat in Dominica from 27th October to 3rd November!!!
