Wa Happen To We Culture?

Its All About secularization and westernization of the Caribbean now right ... Our Culture is going and everyone knows that! disappearing by one tradition trait then another..For One Instance is Indian Weddings! Hindu & Muslim long ago there used to be lovely dances .

These lovely dances used to be portrayed by "DECENTLY DRESSED DANCERS WEARING TRADITIONAL WEAR"..Don't matter what chutney or indian song they danced it entailed hands in the air , spinning , etc.. NOW! IS PLAIN RUBBISH Youth dancers could be in dance groups or dancing individually ALL YOU SEEING IS BOTTOM! Seriously no hand movement is only waist like ah robot "FANNING" Their crotch area or pumping out their behinds! this is a total degradation. and WEARING WHAT PERHAPS? Can't even recognize them onstage if they were even performing! That's why u could never see alot of ELDERS again in weddings or them staying late because of our traditions just being erased or more replaced!

I totally love how the dancers long ago dressed in their shiny skirts and leading the bride and groom into their cars etcc.. now is nothing like that everything so RUDE ! and modernized! Yes everyone now a days have to keep the crowd entertained BUT BE DESCENT ! DRESS APPROPRIATELY ! DANCE WITH PASSION NOT WITH HORNINESS ! Geez! Keep our traditions alive!

Its when one country sees another country's trends and fashion and try to copy it. Even Carnival that was one taught to be the way we as a nation express ourselves as a culture has been overcome by trends and fashion. Carnival used to be bands representing the cultures of Trinidad and Tobago through costume but now its only about making money and wearing less and less clothing for more money.
