Grenada is the nature and spice island - the world's largest nutmeg producer and also a large cocoa bean grower.
Guadeloupe, on the other hand, is a French colony and has an incredible culinary tradition. This is where the term “Creole cuisine” comes from, which is characterised by French, Indian and African influences. Here we had the opportunity to enjoy the world champion chef’s menu with him in person. St. Vincent & the Grenadines is a natural paradise with black beaches, on which the film “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” was filmed.

Caribbean Moments shows a different side to the Caribbean. Everyone visualises sand, sunshine and palm trees - but hardly anyone really discovers what lies behind them. In fact an unbelievable variety of cultures, music and religions has developed as a result of the different influences - African, Indian, English, French and authentically Caribbean.
This documentary series attempts to portray the people - be they the Rastas, who have a lot to say about their mission, the Amerindians in Trinidad, who still have their own Queen, or the Black Caribs - a mixture of escaped slaves and Caribs.
In addition, of course, there’s a huge variety of music: steelpan, parang, calypso, soca and chutney soca shape Trinidad, whilst other islands are especially scenically beautiful, such as Dominica, which is actually a single rain forest and which seduces with its abundant vegetation. Here too are the true Caribs, who occupy themselves with traditional boat building in the same way as their ancestors did centuries ago.
The films were produced in 6 parts to create a documentary series that shows what lies beneath the surface.
Grenada is a beautiful country. I had the pleasure to live there for 3 months.
Man butchered the name of the island. Beautiful people and island. Respect to my Caribbean brothers 🇯🇲
I couldn't follow up with this man since he said Gree nay da is part of the Grenadines. Grenadines are under St Vincent. Gree nay da is a tri island state. He should do his research properly before he talks about anything. So much of what he says has holes in it long story short it's a lot of bullshit
Ramona Spice Well, Grenada is geographically part of the Island group called Grenadines. Which is not the same as talking about the countries, meaning, he was completely right: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenadines
Christopher Lielumbus did not discover anywhere
He and other discovered people that people lived on these lands. Then he went back home told the rulers of the bigger lands(with guns and tricks) that there is plenty space and good weather for them to turn the world into a big hub for trading. others were there before him, they just did not take the time to log it all.
At least if you're going to do a documentary on a country, find out how to pronounce it. Gre-NAY-da
Pronounced "Gre-NAY-da"
Thank you
He was annoying me 🤦🏾♀️
So true Ramona Spice. Tri- island nation. Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. The injustice/ disrespect. Darn
i have enjoyed looking at the video of Grenada, looking forward to visiting Grenada.
It’s Gre na da 😎
Beautiful
How the hell do you mispronounce Grenada. Everyone knows its pronounced, Gre-NAY-da, and if the locals pronounce it that way, that should be a hint, that that's the correct pronunciation.
Anyways, interesting video.
I would like Carriacou. No mass tourism, or high rise resorts.
+briantravelman Grenada is a Spanish word. The correct pronunciation is Gray-nah-dah. But much like we do in New Orleans where I live, we butcher Spanish and French words.
The original word is yes, that is true. The Spanish Grenada is pronounced as you said. I think the Nicaraguan one too.
+Joshua Leonardo I'm Grenadian, it is pronounce Gre-Nay-Da, not Gray-na-da, plz doh try to tell us how our island's name is pronounce
cindy gilbert Yes, but original pronunciation is Spanish therefore Gray-nah-dah. In the u.s we say lots of Spanish words incorrectly like Colorado/ California/Oregon/Los Angeles etc...
Joshua Leonardo Granada people don't speak Spanish though, they speak English. You're gonna teach locals how to pronounce the name of their own island? But I agree with the second part of your comment. You Americans like to pronounce EVERYTHING your own way. Calling Ee-rok I rack and Ee-ron, I ran. It's so annoying.
Hey Google. Did the Bank of England own Slaves ?
At one point in the 1700s, the Bank's role as a lender also led to it owning two plantations and their enslaved workforce in Grenada as security on a loan to a business that could no longer be repaid. Individuals involved with the Bank were also personally linked to slavery.
right thank doing a vid on my country
Grenada is beautiful this is my families homeland.😍😍😍
Habiba's sister?
@@bridgematt6160 If you are asking if that my sister the answer is no.
@@gail_7192 Ok same surname and you look a bit like her, you from London?
@@bridgematt6160 No I am not from London
@@gail_7192 🤭 oh I'm thinking that's where you live, definitely think you and the woman I know are related though.
I think that Rastafari is fascinating.
Great video
wow
I would like to visit Gre Nay Duh
Gre nay da
amazing video
How does this guy mispronounce Grenada one way and then go and mispronounce Rasta in the complete other direction? It's like he's intentionally trying to misread.
Check your pronunciation of the names of the islands
love d Tivoli drummers
Too much injustice.. And you further that by butchering the name of my homeland. Always show respect to any culture, by at least pronouncing the Name of the nation correctly.. Goodness.. Granada is in Spain, island off Spain..
My country is not situated in Spain. You have pronounced my country's name totally wrong.
I am from Wore sheeen tun State. I live in Snow Qualll meee.
GRE-NAY-DA
McLawrence is my cousin lol
I do not want to listen anymore to incorrect information regarding the history of some of these island in the Caribbean. Like America there was various tribes the original who were dark skinned. I was told by my grandmother families were sold and shipped to different isles in the Caribbean. She originally came from venezuela.the colonizers mixed there seed tho bring about different shades. E.g. caribs from st Vincent who became red and yellow carib. All of the dark skinned carib were wiped out because they fought back unlike the light skinned mulattoes.
I feel like my history has been retold for others purpose,to lay claim of always been the fore runner. I am very disturbed and upset and it is time the truth be known.
Gra-NAR-dah is in Spain. Europe. I think you mean Gre-NAY-dah
the guy at min 12:05 don't know what the hell hes talking bout. the colors red yellow and green was taken from the ethiopian flag which is one of the oldest existing flags in the world, and the ghanaians adopted the colors for their flag which was created in the 1950s, since they were the first african english colony to gain independence.
come on guy do some research before you make those bold claims.
How do white Americans and white Europeans fit in? Are they welcomed or are they disdained?
Chuck W everyone is welcome
It's a very friendly Island overall. There's no animosity toward white people or any other group of people. As "The French Bald Eagle" said, it is a very welcoming place. All are welcome.
Chuck W there very welcome as in all the Carribbean islands
Anyone watching this video should not be left with the misunderstanding that the rasta tri colours are caribbean or Jamaican in origin. It is the flag of Ethiopia that the rastas adopted because of Emperor Haile Selassie and biblical indoctrination. Bob Marley as great as he was did not influence the Zimbabwe flag. The inspiration for the flag was the Pan African movement. I love Rastafari sense of African identity, however, the religious aspects is highly suspect adopting the religion of conquest is not liberation but mental and spiritual subjugation. To thin own self be true!
Stopped watching after the second mispronunciation of Grenada,
I did not mean to leave out Hawaiians and Alaskan Natives and others.
GRENADA d name not Ger Nay da
Uuhm soooo wrong Grenada is a tri-island state
People need to stop pronouncing Grenada wrong
Thanks for the video but it would be appreciated next time to find out how the inhabitants pronounce the name of their island or country. You are actually telling them that they are wrong. It is a lack of respect to thousands of people who live there. When the British changed the french name from La Grenade, they called it Grenada. -Gre-nay-da.
For someone who’s doing a documentary, You should have done your research and learnt the correct pronunciation of the island’s name first
They could’ve at least have a commentator that pronounces the name of the country properly. I find it somewhat offensive that He didn’t take the time to pronounce “Grenada “ properly,instead he’s saying “Granada”🙄😏😏. C’mon! Do better.
Nice interviews, terrible VO as others have said!
People watching this crap i feel disrespected its Gre na da omg this video is annoying this man need to get his facts straight. UA-cam needs to pull this down.
Instantly disliked. How are you voicing a documentary about a country and you cant even pronounce the name properly
Before you make a documentary about a place please learn the proper pronunciation of its name. Granada is in Spain. This is GrEnada.
Yep, it's GrEnada just like it's spelled. Carriacou is also mispronounced .
It's "keh-ruh-koo". The second a is silent. Interesting video otherwise.
It's pronounced gre NAY -da
He is one of those guys who pronounce Tobago as To-bah-go. Learn to pronounce the name of the place you make documentaries before you go there, FFS.
It's a Spanish name so of course its pronounce GRE-nada
The original name was changed by Christoper Columbus, then the Spanish sailors changed it to "Granada". The French and the British who ruled changed it to the form of "La Grenade" and then the British "Grenada". That is the name that the British gave it as it is today with a different pronunciation. It is Gre-nay-da and not Gre-nah-da. Nobody in Grenada speaks Spanish except if a few Venezuelans have gone there recently. You might quicker find French patois being spoken. I hear the same pronounciation by American TV announcers. Yet they are the first to criticize everyone. Respect!
@@islandgirl3330 I've been to Grenada. My favorite island so far... very beautiful people and land.
In Spanish it would be "Granada" not Grenada".
@@islandgirl3330 Gre-na-da in Spanish. If one is pronouncing it in it's original tongue of Spanish. I'm a Spanish speaker. Not Gre-neh-da... 😂
