Passa Passa has 'no place in Grenada'

[Juliet]

Nice Try BCK but yet again you display your lack of understanding.

You and certain others seem to have great trouble comprehending my trend of posts. Let me now make it abundantly clear:-

Carnival of long time ago (as was sugested by BCK) did not have the vulgarity of today.

End Story

Grenadian Living abroad writes letter to Caribbean Net News

Dear Sir:

As a Grenadian living abroad I feel compelled to comment on the Passa Passa issue which the Education Minister described as one of the biggest problems yet to face the island.

As a regular visitor to Grenada and having been there after both hurricanes which devastated the island and left its people traumatized, I saw a people trying to make sense of their existence and to find meaning in the wake of all the devastation.

I hardly think that Passa Passa is anywhere close to being one of the biggest problems that Grenadians face.

What strikes me as most interesting though is the reactive, blame-based nature of the news articles, and the proposed solutions by the Grenada National Coalition on the Rights of the Child (GNCRC), the Grenada National Organization for Women (GNOW), and the Minister for Education that are grounded in punishment and control.

I disagree with this person, PASSA PASSA is NOT to be exported or imported by any nation.

Grenada's Passa Passa in the news again!!!

GOUYAVE, Grenada — The girl in the flounced white micro-mini and green glitter tube top writhes to the dancehall beat throbbing through the Q-West nightclub. She drunkenly gyrates in a motion that sends her skirt riding up high enough to show her panties, if she were wearing any.

Throughout the club, sporadically lighted by the flash of a camera or strobe light, barely clad girls dance themselves into a frenzy of carnal excess.

At the crossroads of obscurity and nowhere, this rustic seaport scented by nutmeg, diesel and decomposing fish seems an unlikely venue for the most controversial new dance craze in the Caribbean. But anyone who makes the journey here on a Friday night — actually, Saturday morning — is likely to get an eye-opening glimpse of Passa Passa and an idea why parents, clergy, government and cultural guardians are trying to exorcise the Jamaican import from the island.
