Do you remember listening to our elders tell stories about the good old days in Barbados? Would it not have been awesome to have recorded and preserve those Bajan folk stories and cultural perspectives?
Can you recall how many times those stories were repeated around the family get togethers and each time the story grew more as they were handed down to the younger generations? Those stories were the foundations of our rich Barbados culture and history.
Many of us want to leave some legacy for our children, usually in the form of money or property. What if your legacy for your children and grandchildren was your story? Here at Bajan Hotsauce that is exactly what we want to do.
Stories about, our independence, our rich African heritage, music roots, food, rumshop politics, the steel donkey, ballahoo. We would like to tell stories about the hawkers walking around the buses back in the day shouting out comfort, sugar cakes, mangoes, as we boarded the open air buses in our proud uniforms heading for our villages.
Our stories are unique and only we can tell our Bajan Hotsuace stories. What is the cultural legacy we will leave for our descendants?
We invite you to share your Barbados stories here at Bajan Hotsauce so others coming after us can enjoy the rich cultural heritage of Bimshire we love so much.
Please contact me if you have an idea and we will help you develop and publish your story.
Barbados Rocks!
Happy 50th Anniversary!
