Thanks Mose,
I like that sound too bad. Last year on the Parkway, a big truck bust that tune, if you see how some people get on like they from Xangoland
Deeks it just have something about dat stickfight riddum does just get yuh going. And when yuh drop a good lavwé on top ah dat, well...

dat is so true, the other creole speaking islands have kept that primal sound in that Carnival music that made the white people shudder. In the old days Trinidad was one of England's most unruly colonies; they knew how far they could push us before something happened Over the years the meaning of the carnival and its music has changed so much. That resistant spirit has vanished form the music and It seems the people as well. This kind of music just gets the fires going that why i love martinique's carnival so much!

I guess I'll have to try to make it to Martinique and Guadeloupe sometime.

akiyo is playing here, this girl is very good too!
Interesting. I see some bongo dance moves in there as well.

Coming back to this. We had a young Guadeloupean(sp?) exchange student from France join our folk group this past year (he's since returned to France). But I remember him at times in our practices working on some of those steps.

Matapek,
Sa ki fe? I read on the papers that there is a place on Dundonald street called Euphoria that plays lots of zouk music. They have a zouk night on Thursdays called Zouk Kole Sere T&T. Have you been there? What's it like?

matapèl · « **Reply #42 on:** September 22, 2008, 07:34:39 PM »

No I have not been there, but now i am wondering if anyone there knows how to dance zouk lol

I have read this poem many times loved it, it has lots of patois in it. i only grieve because patois is not surviving as well as it should, I am in my 20's so I will pass on the French and Patois to my Children and keep the Traditional languages of my family going but there are not many trinis like me out there its sad. Thanks for posting it

Deeks · « **Reply #51 on:** January 30, 2009, 04:49:25 PM »

Aye Patois,
Good to see you back. I have to admit I have not done anything with the language but I still interested. How is the Zouk scene in TT as Carnival is around the corner. I hear one of the soca songs by Destra. It very zouk.

matapèl · « **Reply #52 on:** January 30, 2009, 06:10:47 PM »

for those of you who are on face book, there is a new face book group that is dedicated to the advancement and promotion of our Creole. It is called ''Annou palé Patwa'' [let's speak Patois'']

http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=8098&post=28022&uid=61220156866#/group.php?gid=61220156866

Also we have a new wiki up devoted to the goals stated by our group you can find a link to that wiki on the group's main page. So come see what Trinidad Creole speaking community is doing. The movement to save Creole [patois] is finally gaining some steam! hope to see you there! Come join our discussions ask you questions tell us what you know and share your ideas.

vini, annou kozé yon titak! [come let's chat a little]

Very nice find Bitter... I must say that even though I too lacked a full appreciation for the language, I see the need not to treasure and try and preserve it. Lol@ "dreevay" @ 4:57, and the translation "roam about the place"... ent! lol

Nice

Would you like to see Creole revived in Trinidad?
