‘BonFire’. The word doesn’t come close to summing up how much we love these intimate sessions of drumming, music and food. Organized by ChezTravel, Hillside Dams and ZimBho to celebrate the end of the Sanganai/Hlanganani World Tourism Expo 2022, the BonFire experience was headed by experienced drummer and Director of Drums of Peace; Lewis Ndlovu, supported by Stand-Up Comedian MaForty Forty. To complement this wonderful experience, we prepared a 3-course meal to celebrate the diversity of our food culture in Zimbabwe.

Good morning from The Bahamas.
As a child in the 1950's, and 1960's, raised between my mother's family in Jamaica, and, my parents in New Providence, Bahamas, the experiences were different, totally.
In Jamaica, at Christmas, a Jonkanoe Band would come to Falmouth, with the Pregnant Woman, the Devil with his pitchfork, and a few drums. I used to be afraid of the Devil, and, would take refuge on the balcony of an house overlooking the street on which the Band would be progressing.
In The Bahamas, in Nassau, the capital, Bay St. would reverberate with the thunder of the goatskin drums, the whistles, and cow-bells of the bigger groups, and, Scrap Gangs of small groups participating in the parade, early on Boxing Day, and, New Year's Day mornings. The few Christmas vacations I spent in Nassau, I remember the excitement, and anticipation, leading up to these mornings when we would walk from East Shirley St. to Bay St., in the centre of the city, to watch, and feel, the parade. The highlight of the holidays in 1963, was being part of my family's Scrap Gang; pasting my costume before hand; and, ringing the cowbells, one in either hand, and shaken together. Unforgettable!

Great event. Many South Africans may be surprised to learn that the song Shosholoza originates from Zimbabwe or Rhodesia as it was called back then.
