In this episode of Parrotbeetie, Raafeke picks up where he left off last week by sharing more information about language in the British West Indies, specifically patois, creole, and pidgin, and its connection to languages in the U.S. and West Africa. He then shares his findings about what he calls the Orisha of Carriacou, Oko, before narrating his short story, "A Farmer's Cry" inspired by the Big Drum Dance (Saraca) song, "Oko".
