Oh I love her so much. Such enthusiasm.

[@natwil735]

This was a spectacular clip! I learned more about my culture that I didn't know. She was a great educator.... teaching her people about our heritage in a fun way that non-native speaker would not understand. Thank you Louise Bennett!

OMGSH - TOK "toppa toppa" on the diwali riddim back in 2000's - this is what they sampled! wow would like to see dancehall bring back some more of these old folklore songs....

[@Stonygut1865]

An important setup in this game is that there has to be one stone fewer than the number of people participating and all participants need to have rhythm because if you go off beat and rhythm that's how someone gets "mashed" finger. :)
