A cultural revival
Dear Editor
I was reading about the recent symposium entitled Masquerade Lives that was held in Georgetown. Congratulations to the Department of Culture and the Guyana Cultural Association of New York. It was so timely and good, especially in an era when revival of cultural traditions is so important. And I am noting the enthusiasm among the GUYASPORA in participating in the revival process.
It was only last August that I attended a Caribana party here in Toronto.
In a highly beveraged state, I got up and shook to the sweet rhythms of Bob Marley’s ‘One Love’. A GT who was dancing nearby looked down in front of me and shouted: “Throw down the money.”
I really thought that I was executing some basic reggae grooves, but the GT fellow must have seen other things in my grooves…….BAND!
Thanks and Happy New Year greetings
Wayne Jones
