Dominican carnival combines history, art, music, and culture to vibrantly express our spontaneity and creativity with enchanting costumes, dances, and masks. Celebrations and costumes vary according to different DR regions. 🎭🎶🏛🌀 Popular characters include Diablo Cojuelo, Califé, Guloyas, and Roba la Gallina. It draws influences from Europe and Africa, and dates back to the colonial period to escape from pressures of religious tradition. 💃🏻 #GoDomRep #MyDR #dominicancarnival | GoDominicanRe
