Mardi Gras at the CUPOLA
Hey hey, Tuesday, March 29th, 7-10pm is Divino Ritmo's social dance and celebration of Mardi Gras at the Cupola! Cupola is on the 2nd floor of the Honolulu Design Center, corner of Piikoi & Kapiolani, at 1250 Kapiolani Blvd.
Admission is FREE and it's open to the public, with pupus and drinks available for purchase all evening!
The Mardi Gras has its origin from the French Catholic who celebrated with great fanfare prior to the fasting season, typically with dancing, singing, parades, costumes, and opulent masks. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday" referring to the practice of eating foods rich in fat in prepartion for the religious obligation of fasting during Lent. It is basically the "FEAST before the FAST."
So, come feast with Lucas & Yanna at the Cupola in true Divino Ritmo style...
"Down at the Cupola
Where the blues will flow
It takes a cool cat
Like Lucas to show
How a mean mambo will go
Yanna's there with the mambo beat
The Mardi Gras, mambo, mambo, mambo
Party Gras, pambo, mambo, mambo
Mardi Gras, mambo-ooh
Down at Cupola
Cupola
Where the dancers all meet
There's a Mardi Gras mambo
With a beat
Join Divino Ritmo's gang
And truck on down Where the mambo's swing..."
(Sung to the tune of the "Mardi Gras Mambo," by the Hawketts,
