Pure Lime has its cultural origins in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the home of Carnival and hosts of the largest of the Caribbean carnivals. The bandleader of Pure Lime is Edison, a Trinidadian of mixed African and Indian heritage. The Pure Lime Chocolate Mas experience is organised by himself, with his wife Theresa by his side, and a committee of six individuals from Trinidad, England and Serbia.

Edison's brainchild of using chocolate in Carnival draws on one of Trinidad Carnival's oldest traditions of using mud in J'Ouvert to represent the dark and decadent side of human beings. The Chocolate Mas can be referred to as the band's 'performance' at the Notting Hill parade and this performance comprises of all Pure Lime masqueraders taking part in a mutual group smearing of chocolate and coconut oil. It is important to note that this mixture is edible and must be enjoyed whilst drinking healthy levels of alcohol (adults) or soft drinks and dancing to pumping soca rhythms.
