It’s Carnival season, meaning two weeks of worldwide festivities leading up the Christian season of Lent. In 2014, Canadian art-rock juggernaut Arcade Fire was on tour during Carnival and found themselves in Haiti, performing a stripped-down “Here Comes the Night Time” from Reflektor while surrounded by costumed revelers. A video of the performance appeared today care of Artists Institute of Jacmel, Haiti, and it gives both a candid, fly-on-the-wall view of the celebration as well as the band’s low-key performance. Watch it below.
