Fantasy Island Resort Garifuna
Beach Show
After a ‘pot luck’ supper at our
marina, it was time once more to jump into Baby Beez, this time to travel the
short distance across the way to Fantasy Island. Time for the crews of Beez
Neez, Sirena and Nauti-Nauti to have a few sherbets made by Henry whilst we wait
for the fire to be lit and really get
going.
The ladies start the
show
The boys
turn
There is a big group of Garifuna here
on the island, maintaining their roots and traditions. They speak their original
language and it is rare for them to marry outsiders.
The
warriors step up the pace
Couples
dance to the slower drum beat
A final
singsong and it’s time to get a tired Bear
home
ALL IN ALL VIBRANT ENERGY AND
GREAT DRUMMING |
