| Description: | NATIVE CARNIVAL Colorful Carnival in South Africa. South Africa. People in golden suits with long jackets, top hats, and cones in their hands - most of them, wearing 'Al Jonson' style blackface facial makeup, dancing through the streets of Cape (probably Capetown) to jazz music - looks like the kind of carnival that may have happened in New Orleans. Many children dressed in 'American style black entertainers suits' dancing amongst them. | |
