Summary: This article explains the colorfulness of the people in the Bahamas. It states that dance is in the bones of the people. Rake and scrape is sound they use to preform dances to people such as the Bahamian Quadrille and Heal and Toe Polka. They use their own instruments instead of instruments we use such as saxophones and guitars.
My thoughts/emotions/observations: I thought this article was super cool because the Bahamian people are all about dance and they love to do it. It would be really cool and enjoyable to see a Bahamian dance right up close becuase they all dance and love to do it. Also, the article explained how the religious hymns represent the American slave songs brought to the Bahamas, and I really enjoyed that part.
Culture of the country: This article ties into the culture of the country because you don't see any other specific types of dances in other countries. This practice is very important because it brings people together which makes them feel like one big family. Dances are very important in the Bahamas and without it many people wouldn't be together.
