We miss you but we are closer to home than you think. As we continue to dream about Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, here is something to enjoy. Learn to dance the Bèlè and when we see you again, we hope you'll be dancing with us. #GrenadaDreaming #wemissu2 #PureGrenada

The various versions of Bele dances and songs across the caribbean is something i've always been interested in. I don't know how but we have to do some sort of project to showcase this. I would love to but not sure how to start. Carifesta isn't doing a good job of this.

Because the tone is different for it traditions , doing some research you will see what i mean, the Djembe and the bembe drums has a different tonal language

@higherheightsinjesuschrist2963 2 года назад

Would you please share the website that sells the bele' skirts?

@marvanbee Год назад

Do you have any sewing skills or know anyone who does? It would be pretty easy to make - just find a nice flowy fabric or two if you want the different coloured ruffle at the bottom :) This is a good starting video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQgUOfPJV (also cool that she has ideas for how to wear it other ways!). ps - failing all that, if you happen to be in Canada I could potentially make you one... :)

@yolandachristian1571 3 месяца назад

Great job but missing the "African" element. The Dominican bele and drums is so much more African and has the French singing to accompany the dancers.

@patrickparson2454 3 года назад

nice but no Djembe please

Why ?

@shalbec3232 2 года назад

All Caribbean tradition are the same or similar lol and the dance don't seem African at all plus the only thing that similar to some African cultures is the drum but this is nothing Africa. Related

@newdaystarts2day 2 года назад

Well she started by saying the dance was a mix of African and French. Also worth noting that peoples of the Caribbean who are the descendants of enslaved Africans haven't been anywhere near Africa in the last few hundred years - so yeah it will look "different." All cultures constantly evolve and if you compared traditional African dances with their modern equivalents there'd be some changes - it's inevitable. No need to poke peoples cultural expressions.

@beyourself2444 2 года назад

The French and African mix culture was popular across many islands. Bajans and Jamaicans were never French colonies so this dance isn’t native to those islands. The Barbadians don’t even have a real carnival culture because they were always British. The invented it for tourism purposes only. So no, all Caribbean traditions are not the same at all. The only constant was African slavery and blacks gave the Caribbean it’s unique culture. But it’s good to know you know the culture of every single West African tribe that you can critique that the dance doesn’t seem African at all…

@@beyourself2444 yes that's why carnival start during summer. Normaly that's start before eastern
