(14)Haiti Carnival the biggest streets party in the country
The costume of Chalosca, a popular Carnival costume in Haiti. The story behind it has to do with Chief Charles Oscar who was a military commander responsible for the police in Jacmel. One day, Chief Charles Oscar (Chalosca) took 500 prisoners from the Jacmel prison and massacred them all. This caused a revolt among the Jacmel population. The police chief was torn to pieces in the street and burned-in the same fashion he murdered Jacmel prisoners.
