MARCH OF THE MOKOS

MARCH OF THE MOKOS

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO | 2018 | 25 MINS

March of the Mokos centres on Glen “Dragon” DeSouza, “King of the Moko Jumbies,” and the head of a cultural stilt-walking group, Keylemanjahro. Not only does he help to revive the artform in Trinidad and Tobago, but his talent and teaching of the craft inspires youths, encourages other groups which have emerged across the country, and attracts students from across the globe.
