“Duppy know who fi frighten”—why does this proverb protect the weak?

“Duppy know who fi frighten”: this Jamaican saying resonates from childhood onward, long before we fully understand its meaning. In Jamaica, at dusk, a scene plays out across generations. Children are called back inside before night swallows the garden. There’s no need to argue the point—outside, the duppies lurk, those spirits that didn’t follow the dead to the end of their journey. A man from Old Harbour, now in his eighties, told researchers in 2021 how these stories shaped his childhood evenings—not so much to terrify as to keep the children close to home. From this inherited fear arose a saying that is still heard today throughout the island: “Duppy know who fi frighten”—the duppy knows who to frighten. What does “Duppy know who fi frighten” mean? The Jamaican Patwah online dictionary illustrates the expression with a typical phrase, “Him cyaa try mi, duppy know who fi frighten,” which could

Gwoka, the Guadeloupean drum that UNESCO has enshrined in history

In Pointe-à-Pitre, a bronze statue depicts a seated man with a ka drum between his legs. It pays tribute to Vélo, one of the greatest masters of gwoka, the Guadeloupean music that emerged from the resistance to slavery. Since 2014, UNESCO has designated it as a World Heritage Site. A Tambouyé Turned into a Statue Marcel Lollia, known as Vélo, was born on December 7, 1931, and died on June 5, 1984. He trained several generations of ka players—a drum carved from a tree trunk and covered with a stretched skin. He also inspired Akiyo, a cultural movement advocating for identity founded in 1979, which brought gwoka out of the small circles where it was still surviving. On June 5, 2004, twenty years after his death, a statue by sculptor Jacky Poullier was unveiled in Pointe-à-Pitre, modeled after an earlier Guadeloupean portrait dedicated to another of the island’s great figures.

Barbuda: More than 5,000 frigatebirds in an extraordinary lagoon.

In Barbuda, the show begins even before you spot the birds. There is no road leading to the Codrington Lagoon sanctuary. You have to board a boat, travel across the water through the mangroves, and then watch as the black silhouettes of the magnificent frigatebirds (Fregata magnificens) come into view—their colony is one of the largest in the Caribbean. This fact alone is enough to reveal another side of Barbuda. Beyond its pink beaches, the island is home to a lagoon where more than 5,000 of these birds have been recorded, in a colony where a scientific survey counted 1,743 nests. Here, you discover the destination by looking up and understanding the role this lagoon plays in the balance of the entire island. A Ramsar-designated lagoon, nestled between mangroves and reefs The Codrington Lagoon covers 3,600 hectares and has been recognized as a wetland of international importance under the Ramsar
