So amazing. I'm from Tobago and we still use the same kind of yard broom she's talking about. We call it a fex broom. The connections to the way these shouters move and speak remind me of home.
So much like Jamaican Creole and my grandmother's old-folk language in Alabama. Old people used to say teen-inchy (long i) when I was growing up in Alabama. Jamaicans still say "frock" for dress and "'oman" for "woman," "tek" for "take." Jamaicans still say "unnu" for "y'all." I see the Geechee/Gullah say "yunnu." Y'all and unnu? Anyway, check Igbo for the word for "y'all." I believe it's still "unu."
Thank you for uploading this! I'm doing research on African American English and I recently found out about Gullah culture and language. So very interesting. Thanks! Greetings from Mexico!
See iv always wanted to know about geechee folks. My grandmother told me that I was blackfoot Indian n geechee and that her side of the family came from Georgia n she happened to move to Florida. I thought " geechee" never existed until I did research n now I know what I am and I want to know how this become part of my family tree. I'll love to know more about the geechee history :-)
Sounds like our music from Guinea, West Africa. You are all my African brothers and sisters.
Thank you, Cherif.
