Thank you reacting to my Country, my people and culture. But he missed were influences of the French which was biggest influence, as well as, Chinese who actually brought here before Indians abd Syrian/Lebanon. For dot in ocean we achieved a lot in sports, music, nobel prized winner and the first black Miss Universe etc. Thanking you again keep it up.
In Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 we embrace and celebrate each other cultures. We are a country that has one of the most holidays in the world due to respecting each other’s religions etc.
No. It is not about quiet hours. It is about the drum being used in African religious ceremonies, and the African religions were banned. That ban was only removed in the 1980s, but the drumming part was never removed so it is continuing discrimination against African practices. However, the law, like most other laws in Trinidad and Tobago is not enforced. Orisa feasts with drumming goes into the night and early morning hours.
"Help to restore" My Afro Trini culture is alive and well. You see it in my Carnival, Afro based religion, foods, folklore and more. Nah he was throwing shade all the time I peeped the as well. Emancipation Day is our big day!
The, British said,we were using African drums to communicate with each other and plan rebellious hence the reason why African drumming was banned. The steel drum invented in Trinidad and Tobago by Afro Trinidadians.
If you have kids there's a book ' My Land' it's very educational for kids. It is all about Trinidad and Tobago. I am a proud Trinbagonian and I respect you for your enthusiasm.
Law of Drum music after 10pm was a Colonial Law by British it is not enforced although its on the law books. The English feared the beating of drum conveyed messages revolution.
All one people under 1 nation ❤. Africans , indians , chinese , portuguese , syrian , lebanese , syrian , spanish , french , amerindians ,british , some dutch as well. also historical migrations from other islands , venezuela which make up what TNT is today . Carnival brings everyone together 💃🕺
Must let you all know that drums are currently playing anytime of the day or night especially at wakes or Best Village competitions,so there is no time limit to playings drums of any kind
Ooo I was delightfully surprised to see this Never watched this video and didn't know about African Trophies I don't think the law is enforced, we do have a Christian denomination that began in T&T, called Shouter Baptist, their worship involves drum playing and singing. Due to how loud they tend to be, they can be heard very well from very far and they have meetings in the night. So I can see if they are close to residential areas with more privileged people, this law may be used.
Love the post...just miss carnival 23, maybe next year. The no drumming law is not enforced. Just something that no one has removed from the books. There are hundreds of bands that play till 3 and 4 in the morning.
I am Trini, there were no such rules in my neighbourhood., our fetes (parties) went from 7pm til dawn, sometimes it ran into the next day, then the next night, music blasting all night and day. Nothing stops at at 10.00 pm, didn't know that rule was on the books, Trinis love to party. No one will make us shut down our music. Hey Guys I am late to watching your channel, just found it, love your content. I have been binge watching since
Great reaction. Hope to see y'all next year. I'll suggest y'all come a week before carnival and leave a week after to get to explore between the partying.
Hello, I'm watching your wonderful video. The British feared the beating of drums by the Africans who were forcefully enslaved. The Africans used the drums to communicate with each other and the British feared that they would communicate and conspire to revolt. Then the British banned all drumming and as a result, the Africans started to use bamboo and metal objects to mimic the messages they used to send via the drums. In the nineteen forties the USA had several military bases in Trinidad and the U.S 55 gallon oil barrels were used to export crude oil from Trinidad. One day a Trinidadian worker started banging on the bottom of a discarded oil barrel with a sledge hammer and he realized that he was hearing different notes of song the more concave the bottom of the oil barrel became. That was the birth of the steel drum/steel pan as we know it today. It's the only new musical instrument developed in the 20th Century.
of course, from a population of just over a million trinidad has won miss universe twice and miss world once. there are many countries with populations 10 times that of trinidad and have never won either competitions once.
Trinidad and Tobago is a cosmopolitan country. We have various types of people and cultures there . Just to mention a few Africans, Indians, Chinese, Spanish, Syrians, ect, The Indian culture in itself is very big. We even have a China Town in Trinidad. We have the bird sanctuary it is beautiful. And don’t let me start about carnival. It is the greatest show on earth. Th parties starts in January all the way to Ash Wednesday. The week before carnival the Friday is Army fete then Monday a lot of all inclusive parties from Day fetes to boat rides, Tuesday on the rocks with kess the band Wednesday lots of parties but my best one Is lime at the Hyatt hotel. Y’all got the picture. Go on you tube and look up some videos on Trinidad history. I for forget to mention the steel band competition.
I believe that even though that law is on yhe books i don't think its enforced. As the religious groups that keeps with the African roots they hv drumming after 10. The dance groups also drum during practice especially for events
a lot of other videos will dive deeper. I think some people, although right in front of them, don't realize there is a diaspora in huge masses in Trinidad. They see everyone as a west indian. Growing up, telling people that I was half Indian, then telling them my mother was from Trinidad seemed to confuse them. Only now are people paying more attention.
Into the culture considering it is so multiculture he didn't talk about the Chinese or the Indians or the syrians. The first time I went there was so much East some you couldn't even tell the difference between whether they would native Indians or if they were the East Indians all-round definitely very blended
He left out the entire East Indian culture.... which is very dominant in Trinidad... video was kinda random... perhaps you guys can react to something else re Trinidad... try another perhaps? idk his video was cool but didnt quite represent anything...

The most insightful statement of this video: "We were descendants of enslaved people, not descendants of slaves." Thank you 👏
It means the same thing.

Just one note: African Trophies isn't a museum, it's a store where you can purchase things.
That law of not beating drums is no longer. That was back in the colonial days, under the british rule
This is an African Muesum situated on the western main rd,in St James.❤❤❤
How could Christopher Columbus have discovered Trinidad when Trinidad had inhabitants on the Island 🇹🇹

I agree with you about the term "slave", it could also be applied to "indentured workers" since they were also a disadvantaged and mistreated group.
Number 1 🎉 youtube couple channel
History of Africa is taught and afro Trinidadians who follow Orishas religion keep in touch with their roots
Awww... 15:39 lol... Favorite TH-cam couple! We all have those old colonial laws that make no sense and not enforced.
❤️❤️
Me being a born trini I haven't see anything about the Indian people nothing about doubles an that is a big Trinidad food dish somehow I feel hurt..
a lot of other videos will dive deeper. I think some people, although right in front of them, don't realize there is a diaspora in huge masses in Trinidad. They see everyone as a west indian. Growing up, telling people that I was half Indian, then telling them my mother was from Trinidad seemed to confuse them. Only now are people paying more attention.
Could u do a video just about Tobago not only Trinidad because they only mention that we are their sister island but we are more than that
Hope you are willing react to our music Calypso, Soca and Chutney Music.
Can u watch the one with Tobago he did?
Apparently the Indian half of the population doesn't exist lol.
They ain't poppin like that.
Second only to Brazills carnival just because they got a bigger Population to take words from our Jamaican bredren.we likkle but we taliweh
Trinidad carnival is still number 1 facts
@@daguillera if you looking for argument from me you wasting your time blocked
African Trophies is a store not a museum lol
What made you react to the video
Ok so my ancestors were indentured workers which is really a peaceful way to say slaves.
imagine the ancestors being told by British what an opportunity it was, passage paid by working five years. Bait and switch.
Quiet hours was during the colonial time not now
The law against beating drums past 10 p.m. is because shouter baptists would worship late into the night and disturb the neighbors. Just fyi.
Into the culture considering it is so multiculture he didn't talk about the Chinese or the Indians or the syrians. The first time I went there was so much East some you couldn't even tell the difference between whether they would native Indians or if they were the East Indians all-round definitely very blended
Indian came to Trinidad after the abolishment of slavery in 1834. They majority are all descendents of those Indians.
African drumming was prohibited because the colonial powers Said we were using the drums to communicate and start rebellions.
Still have a lot of information to be added
It's on the books but it is not enforce ppl in my country play music anytime any place,if anything it's too noisy
The African came to Trinidad first 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
Because after 10 people need to sleep LOL
Where my Trinis at
#Trini2DBone
Lol sandwich
Y'all still coming? lol
No it’s oppression of the African drums
I’m a Trini and I’m scared to go back visit Trinidad
He left out the entire East Indian culture.... which is very dominant in Trinidad... video was kinda random... perhaps you guys can react to something else re Trinidad... try another perhaps? idk his video was cool but didnt quite represent anything...
People come to the Caribbean for afro Caribbean vibe and culture them Indians 🇮🇳 ain't poppin like that.
So I am a trini and ppl need a permit to play music, even drums after 10 pm.
