About YUMA

More Than a Band.
A Movement.

Founded in 2010, YUMA was built on a simple yet powerful belief: that Trinidad & Tobago Carnival deserves the very best. Over the past decade, the brand has become synonymous with innovative costume design, exceptional road experiences, and a fresh, boundary-pushing approach to masquerade. What began as a local Carnival band has grown into a globally recognized brand, bringing the energy and heart of Trinidad Carnival to masqueraders around the world.

As YUMA has evolved, so has its impact. Beyond delivering world-class all-inclusive Carnival experiences, the brand now offers multi-band production, carnival logistics consulting, and raw material procurement, supporting Carnival initiatives both locally and internationally. Through strategic partnerships and a passionate, diverse team, YUMA continues to spread its vibrant culture of unity, positivity, and celebration across the globe.

At its core, YUMA is about creating unforgettable moments. From its talented costume designers to its dedicated road crew, every member of the YUMA family is committed to giving masqueraders an unparalleled Carnival experience while celebrating the joy, freedom, and cultural richness of playing mas. As the brand continues to grow, it proudly honors the legacy of its late leader, mentor, and friend, Stefan Monteil, whose vision and passion continue to inspire the YUMA family every step of the way.
