I was in Bermuda from the middle of December until the early days of 2022! On New Year’s Day I heard the Gombey dancers and drums surrounding where I was staying! I’d like to know if there is spiritual significance to them dancing on this particular day? I have been to Bermuda numerous times and seeing them in Par Le Ville Park and for Harbour Nights. But this time it seemed particularly different. I can only imagine the darkness, threats and slavery in their history but didn’t know if this was yet another part of history. I look forward to a response to my query!
