Garifina

The Houngan Oswan spoke Garifina, a language that combines Yoruba and Carib Indian. He is a teacher with a fine sense of humor. A crew at this ceremony was filming for the television show Tales From The Crypt. This is an aggregate that can be put to use.

Houngan Oswan issues exquisitely obscene calls in Garifina and I (Louis Martinie') Attempt the response. I remember thinking that some place, probably up North in a basement appartment, a Garifuna speaker will be unable to believe his ears.

Don DuFrane, the Elder of the Temple Drummers, holds the rhythm together while tricksters play.
