Jamaican wake...dead yard.
Hi. when we were to Negril, recently we were invited to Cynthia's wake { Mother of the guy who owns Best in the West}. Wife didn't go, but I did. Wow! Quite a celebration of Cynthia's life. I'm glad I went. Talking, and mingling with a few folks. Beers, rum punch, rice & chicken & Mannish water! Big speakers thrown up on top of a pickup truck, dancing... As I was listening to the {loud} music, it seemed to me to be contemporary up-tempo religious Jamaican music. I asked someone, if they ever play Bob Marley music, and she said "Noooo"! I guess I didn't ask her why. I think his music is very spiritual, and uplifting. So, if any of you "old-timers" {sorry} know of why the choice of music for a wake is the way it is. Share you thoughts with me. Thanks. Respect. One Love.
