Listen Later

In this episode of Parrotbeetie, Raafeke gives a small recap of his life, discussing the debut of the "Last of Us" and tying it in with the importance of diversity within stories and media as a whole. He then goes on to give another recap of Carriacou's Big Drum Dance before emphasizing the importance of oral storytelling within African and African diasporic cultures as a whole before sharing the Big Drum Dance song, "Neg La Wive".  This song served as the inspiration for the story "The Old Parents Have Come", which Raafeke narrates before closing out the episode with information on how he created this short story, as well as how creole(s) within the Caribbean works between socio-economic classes.
