Hey , I thought the video was Great, realy well done, we here were saying we have to step up and be more creative with ours now lol. The questions…, we spent quite some time thinking about them, and boy did we have lots of answers, excepting on the one about the Government, most people did not realy know what to say about it, I sure didn’t. We had sooo many other things we wanted to say and put into the video but dont worry, our major festival is comming up and there will be lots of images for you guys to see what goes on arround this time of the year. Especially the nightlife people love to just go partying at nights, and before Kadooment, we have something called “Foreday Morning” that like a huge prosession through the street through town, with alot of calyspo music and paint, sometimes even the huge truchs hold a entire Steelpan band which plays from the time they start to finssh. Steelpan is a musical instrument whisch is basically a half or whole metal barrel with different, kinda like dents, which the person beats to make the music. Mela had some footag of the Steelpan so we would have that edited by tomarow so you can see. Maybe you guys would even get samples of our festive music to listen to.
Well I am looking foward to seeing more of your videos and I cant wait to hear your responces.
