St. Lucian Christmas Music

We had a special treat after our Christmas feast as Marcy's relatives and friends gathered at her sisters house to make some music. All variety of instrument were used to create a lovely sort of percussion that filled the early evening air. An uncle played a banjo, a Heineken bottle hit with a can opener s gave a tinny ping, from shak-shak trees seeds inside cans made gentle rhythms.

I am sure the evening grew more animated as a wide variety of libations began to control the chanting and song.
