…with the sounds of Garifuna drumming. To be more specific, our house is alive. I usually wake up to my alarm clock or the radio singing ‘Good morning Belize and good morning..how are you this morning…” This morning I thought I was dreaming. I could hear drumming and singing and it sounded like it was coming from the front porch and living room area. I don’t mean like steel drums or rock and roll drums, I mean full on African style drums, maraccas, and Garifuna singing.
I got up and walked into the kitchen and there were two women making flour tortillas and singing away. My host was in the shower so I went out on to the porch and there were five guys drumming and singing. They had travelled up for an event on Monday and spent the night at my host’s place but when they arrived I was alseep.
I felt like a MasterCard advert moment….the cost of an alarm clock $10, the cost of being woken up by fantastic musicians…priceless…

I have my phone alarm wake me up in the morning and the sound is distressing. It is on at 6.35 am and has a snooze button and it rings and buzzes. What a way to wake up. Are there any jogoos in Belize. Do you remember the ones in Eldy.

Did you learn how to play the drums? Did you sing with them?
