About this ebook
The ultimate Bajan handbook, and a remarkably refreshing and fun dive into the the intricacies of Barbadian vernacular by a treasured daughter of the soil. Mahalia is uniquely able to share the most crucial advice and instruction, for anyone wishing to seamlessly assimilate into Bajan culture. It's the only guide you need to connect more closely with Barbados and the Barbadian people, through language. The book also successfully holds a mirror up to native speakers of Bajan dialect, reminding them of the remarkably rich and unique nature of their everyday interaction, and does it in the most delightful and nostalgic way.
Author
Mahalia Cummins
Mahalia writes songs. In fact, she's an award winning songwriter and choreographer, dancer, plant mom and at-home visual artist. She is best known for her effortless and electrifying performances as lead vocalist of the stand-out Bajan band, 2 Mile Hill who have flown the Barbadian flag at shows across the Caribbean, US and Europe. She is also celebrated for her captivating presence as host and founder of Barbados' biggest acoustic, talent festival, Mahalia's Corner. She's an all-round creative, and a quintessential Bajan, and she will never pass up the chance to say "Cheese on bread!" for anyone who may ask to hear her accent.
