The ambience in Limassol during the Carnival season is best captured in a article which, half a century later, remains very topical: "Limassol is having fun. For two whole weeks, during the Carnival season, the people of Limassol do little else other than party every single day, drinking, dancing and staying up all night.
During the daytime the people labour and toil, but at sundown they are transformed. The day's toils evaporate, giving way to a sense of anticipation for a night filled with crazy partying, pranks and love. Lots of fun, practical jokes, and some love-making.
These, then, are the three elements which the people of Limassol live and breathe during the days of the Carnival, as they invite their friends from other towns to join the fun and leave their troubles behind. Masquerades are inspired by a variety of themes, including historical and political events, movies and the cultures of foreign countries, mythology and folk tales. The oldest and most traditional masquerades are the so-called 'pellomaskes' - makeshift, last-minute, goofy-looking masks which people wear to conceal their identity and to draw laughter, engage in satire, and have fun.
Complementing the whole carnival atmosphere are the serenaders, the hallmark of the Limassol Carnival. The serenades and the carnival songs can be described as the musical quintessence of the Limassol Carnival.
Traditionally sung by male choirs - accompanied by mandolins and guitars - they are of a particular style. It is these songs that make up what is referred to as the town's "special sound," that is, the collective manner in which the town's people express their musical identity as well as their common roots and cultural identity.
