An Afternoon of Caribbean Music and Food 11th December 2006

An afternoon of Caribbean delights with a Steel Band playing Caribbean calypso / Reggae music throughout the afternoon and evening. Some Limbo dancing took place, a traditional dance of the West Indies where dancers pass under a horizontal pole without touching the floor, Real Jamaican Food prepared in the Traditional Jamaican style, was served later in the afternoon.

 

Blah Bar served up some real Fancy cocktails just like it is on the beach in the Caribbean. A fantastic time was had by all, thanks to BBEMI staff, the Blah Bar, The Coalfields Regeneration Trust, all of the African Caribbean Enterprise Member and the general public of Barnsley.
