Caribbean Dynamics Interview

[Empress]

I noticed that interviewer mentioned something about some people thinking that punta rock is too sexual. I hope that is not derived from any of the concerns that I expressed in the chat. Because my concern is not that punta rock is too sexual, my concern is with the show that some of the younger bands put on when they are performing. Some of the sexual acts they perform on stage I believe are not appropriate or necessary and it diminishes the culture and art form of punta and punta rock. There is a difference between sexual acts and sensuality, sensuality I have no problem with. Even dancehall artist don't have the Jacan girls doing the lewd dances that you can see at a regular dancehall. I think is should be done with class, not vulgarity.

Empress, don't take it personal. You bring up good discussions that needs to be debated. It was a good question to ask regardless of where it derived from. Maybe other people may have the same concern and wonders what Belizean Artists thinks. Remember now, interviews are conducted to see what is in the artist head and what inquiry minds want to know. I wanted to know.

If the question was asked wrong then I apologize. But from time to time I will sit in the chat room listen to what other people are saying and take notes. Your concerns are valid and they do need to be addressed by the artists that do these shows.

I just wished I had more questions to ask.

[Empress]

I agree, if they are willing to tell about their personal lives we want to know about that too, like their marital status and pickney status Maybe we can produce a list of questions that you can use from time to time

Melody did'nt Louis ask for people to submit questions that they would like the interviewer to ask. I believe he did.
