I haven't watched it yet, but when I hear mention of "drummers" I would think Seastar too.

You are very welcome! So glad that I came across the listing. I really enjoyed the show also. Any Jamaica fix I can get right now, helps. I got about 9 months of waiting around for the next trip. Gonna be a long, hot summer...but it will all be worth the wait as usual. Love me some Jamaica!!

The drummer on the right in the voodoo segment is the lead drummer @ seastar-- saw him for sure at xmas. Pretty sure the drummer on the left is also a seastar drummer. I thought a majority of the general shots were Negril. I've never seen signs of voodoo on the island. Has anyone here seen any signs of voodoo? I prefer my chicken jerked. LOL

This is from wiki answers:
Answer:A very small population of Jamaicans practice the West Indian version of voodoo which is called obeah. Obeah is a system of belief among blacks chiefly of the British West Indies that is characterized by the use of magic ritual to ward off misfortune or to cause harm.

And also this from the MoBay info page:
Obeahism the Jamaican form of Voodoo exists but is seldom heard of. The Obeah man is supposed to marshal evil spirits to bring good or bad fortune. The practice of Obeahism is a still considered a crime punishable by imprisonment here.
