    1Xtra Salutes Carnival

    Live performances, Carnival PAs and other special moments from the 1Xtra archive.

The Carnival kicks off with a celebration of sound, rhythm and pure joy. Part 1 delivers legendary anthems from Machel Montano, Kes, Bunji Garlin, Ms Dynamite and Beenie Man. Bashment bangers meet Soca sweetness for a mix made for the road. Feathers, whistles and non-stop movement. This is where the party begins. Catch up on BBC Sounds or just ask your smart speaker to play 1Xtra – Carnival vibes in your pocket, wherever you are.
