On Saturday April 11th 2009 carnival jumbies from around Jamaica and beyond gathered at James Bond Beach in Oracabessa to participate in the annual Beach J’ouvert party.

Well produced by Bacchanal Jamaica, Beach J’ouvert 2009 featured Machel Montano HD and friends and the music of Sparkles Disco, DJ Smoke from Renaissance and Trinidad’s DJ Private Ryan.

The weather was perfect. The music was pumping. The paint was pouring (and splashing and wiping and splattering). The vibe was pure bacchanal…

Sean Paul and fan coolin’ out

What’s J’ouvert without paint?
