MARRIED MAN GONNA KEEP YOUR SECRET
c . No. 420. Elizabeth Austin and a group of women with clapping accompaniment, New Bite, Cat Island, Bahamas, 1935.
Most Bahaman dance songs are faintly, if not markedly, scandalous. Like Haitian Mardi Gras songs, they serve, without naming names, to retail gossip about or to poke fun at an enemy or some person who has acted shamefully or ridiculously. The satire, however, is softened by the kittenish giggles of the young girls who do the singing. |
