    诺丁山狂欢节(一)

    31日,风和日丽,相约KUN和另一张姓帅哥同游诺丁山,与据说当天在场的百万游客一道狂欢。

    诺丁山狂欢节由来已久,今年正值50大庆,在58/59年一位名叫Kelso Cochrane的黑哥们被杀害和席卷当年的种族冲突的大背景下,Claudia Jones首次在伦敦诺丁山举办了拉丁族裔的盛妆游行。最初的几年,这一年一度的短暂欢庆,给思乡心切的外来客们带来了些许安慰,随着庆典规模和影响日益扩大,逐渐成为拉美和非洲少数族裔彰显自身存在、展示多元文化魅力的盛大舞台。尽管该节日自举办以来风波不断,屡受暴力和群体骚乱事件的困扰,当地居民抗议声不绝于耳,市政和警方也多次威胁停办,它还是一路跌跌撞撞的走到了今天,见证了自己50岁生日,也成为伦敦多元文化中不可或缺的亮丽一幕。

    诺丁山狂欢节不仅是视觉的盛宴,更是对听觉的极大挑战。一开场先声夺人的喧天钢鼓,敲得山响,我的心脏也跟着在那一阵紧似一阵的鼓声中加快了律动,呼吸也变得不再均匀平和,也许这就是属于狂欢的节奏。从RAGGASALSA,还有FUNKY,这些音乐类型不论熟悉与否,都能让人随之摇摆和沸腾。加勒比和非洲移民后裔似乎和他们的先人一样,生来就会踏着节拍手舞足蹈,在众目睽睽的注视礼下,他们爱秀的基因更发挥到极致。这种时候,谁都会忘了他们的平日的不务正业或想入非非,因为这是属于他们的时刻,令他们光芒四射和与众不同的时刻。伦敦也因为包容而五彩纷呈。
