Ahhhhh I'm in this video guys 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤗. It was so amazing to work with the Legendary Alison Hinds for the first time in my dance career. Thank you to the Director!!
Big up the soca Queen Alison Hinds , love from Guyana.. Proud to be a west Indian . The video is a BOSS,,UP LIKE 7.. All the soca fans around the world big up yuh self
Love her outfits and the dance and music she's always so awesome so colorful and looks and seems so humble, God bless this woman . Love you Alicia Hinds you really inspire me .
Also my eyes were dazzled with all the cutting between scenes. Obviously it was an epic trip with lots of footage so maybe they could do a behind the scenes to see how Soca is received in Ghana. That would be good plus it woulda save mi eyeballs 😊
Go Allison I remembered when I dance with you in Rotterdam Holland in the 90st I was 26 years old You asked me girl how can you wine so good I used the be a dancer no one could of wine like me and I proud to be a west indies.

This song is for all those who like to push the term "Caribbean" down we throat. We live in the Caribbean yes but were West Indians not Caribbeans... 🙏🏽❤
@@primitiveminds The Caribbean is a feature of geography. It is NOT an appropriate description for human beings. Caribbean is a geographical description of a place with many countries. It is Singular on face value and plural. Referring to West Indian PEOPLE as 'Caribbean or worse 'Caribbeans' isn't just awful English its nonsensical. Also we have all rights to choose what we should be referred to.
@@MissyjuanitaB I am a west Indian so I have the right to refer to my self as a Caribbean or a west Indian is our opinion just like u said or u thought I was someone who is not from the soil n speaking on a culture he has no knowledge about?
@@primitiveminds In my experience only members of the diaspora permit themselves to be referred to as a 'Caribbean.' Basic CSEC level History and Geography wipes that idea from most peoples minds. It is grammatically and sociologically incorrect. The term West Indies is a political term and it directly relates to Caribbean countries that actually have close working relationships with each other ie ... CARICOM and the OECS. Aside from that CUBA is a our well known comrade. People in the Americas and Europe are entirely ignorant to the fact that the Caribbean is not a monolithic place. People from the Cayman Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and the US virgin Islands are all considered 'Caribbean.' They do not share the west Indian experience and that is the Caribbean the outsiders know most. The wider Caribbean Basin also includes Latin America in a geopolitical sense. If you want to get lost in that bunch knowing full well outsiders don't even know the names of the countries in the English Speaking Caribbean, French Caribbean or in particular CARICOM or the OECS go ahead. I am a WEST INDIAN that is my culture and it is NOT the same as 'Caribbean' culture by any means. West Indians are a historically, socially, politically and geopolitical identifiable group. Refer to yourself what you will.
@@MissyjuanitaB exactly u answer your own question how does some of the Latin American countries don't share similarities in their culture especially those who have afro blood in their lineage?? So it's still Caribbean because somebody from Belize have similarities in their cultures as someone from st Thomas for example Belize is not west Indian by geography but yet in the Caribbean right so my point is ppl use these words to separate us like greater and lesser Antilles fwi dwi bwi awi that's why I say Caribbean because we all use the Caribbean sea for the most part
Am a fan, but i'm not sure why she would be filming a video in Ghana about being a west indian... Ghana just had the year of return and most ppl are going back to connect with their roots, not to go back to say they are proud of mix genes...

Nice song & she is beautiful 👑
But imagine the unity if it was called African - Caribbean, given she was in Ghana. #unity
I think it's better with being called west indian. It represents all of us from the West Indies tho.
@@sexycspan1 I think African Caribbean shows the connection with Africa, after all she was in Ghana. Not clear what West I represents.
@@drf695 you do know why we are called west indians right and not West African's?
@@sexycspan1 I'm genuinely interested in your view. Pls explain. I know of some Indian links but more so of the African links ie diaspora.
