Default Carnival music?

Ok so my band have a gig in 2 weeks and it's an afternoon company do and their theme is "Carnival" .

They have asked if we could play some suitable music (which we have learnt) but they also want Carnival tracks played whilst we are not on stage ...

I have Soul Limbo by Booker T and Hot hot hot by Arrow and some Cuban salsa stuff but have just run out of ideas .

Suggestions please for the ultimate "Carnival" party cd

thanks

Get an organ, and in waltz time go through the chords C minor, B major, Ab major, G major, G7.

It's a nice faintly sinister carnival music. Well, there's more to it than that but what the hell.

No I'm thinking more Notting Hill/Rio/Mardi Gras "Carnival" than Freakshow stuff

Ska stuff would probably go down well - Guns of Navarone (Skatalites), Liquidator (Harry J & the All Stars) Return of Django (the Upsetters), Double Barrel (Dave & Ansel Collins)

How about some N'Awlins type stuff (Dr. John, Professor Longhair, The Meters) too?

All carnival music sounds sinister to me. I might get some as 'coming on stage music' (stop sniggering at the back). Is there a name for that?
