horrível esta dança...suave!
Moko Jumbie is happiness,sadness, joy & everything - I am really trying to figure out that concept...I guess walking on stilts that are extremely high can help solve life's emotional & mental problems - Isn't that stretching the good feeling one get when standing or walking on stilts, a bit too far..
Umm no i am a Trinidadian and what u are saying is not true, we do this for our own happiness
@Mike7880, to understand the concept you have to understand what it means to "play mas" to "wear a personality." It's about self-expression and storytelling. It comes from deep part of our culture that grew and lived through slavery, indentureship, colonialism--the ability to walk above your immediate reality, a time to literally step out of yourself. It's not about stretching things too far, it's literally how our art has shaped our survival.
No...I understand what she meant and I'm just an American from Texas.
You really won't understand unless ur from Trinidad or unless u yourself have played the character.... You just won't understand the freedom it gives and makes us feel...
wtf 😂😂
Um what so surprising?
helmets? no?
nope lol
I feel like I was watching RuPaul's
Amir Saleem made many of those moves. He is and was the master Jumbie in the Caribbean. He also made a curriculum.

I don't see fat people so how is this a jumbo dance this is not a way to lose weight this is not a good weight loss program🍩
