Hot Banana Caribbean Party!!!
I've always believed that the World Revolution can only come from the Caribbean. Its music has the power to rock the walls of Babylon as well as your hips. And its beautiful friendly people, flavorful food and happy lifestyle announce a new era...
THE BANANA REVOLUTION PARTY (January 21st, 2006)
Yes, we will be having a party to celebrate the ‘good life’ and fight the ‘jungle out there’…
Once upon a time (before Christ) there was a Greek wise man called Epicurus, the "philosopher of the garden," who proposed precisely the good life ‘here and now’ (not in the afterlife), who emphasized the simple pleasures such as food, and who saw the need for justice. I quote here…
‘Epicurus recognizes the virtue of justice. Like the other virtues, justice is not considered by Epicureans to be an "absolute good," but rather an obligatory means for securing happiness. The nature of this obligation is contractual; justice is grounded upon a promise not to initiate harm against one's peers, nor to permit such wrongdoing to go unpunished. Throughout history, it has proved mutually advantageous for individuals to band together into societies implicitly or explicitly embracing this kind of pact, because, according to Epicurus, "the greatest fruit of justice is peace of mind." When we live under conditions of assured protection, we can derive solace from the expectation that we will not fall prey to criminal acts, or in the unlikely event that we do, that there will at least be avenues of recourse available to us. On the other hand, those who try to cheat the social covenant by committing crimes are subject to perpetual anxieties that accompany the prospects of looming retaliation.’
So, nothing better than to celebrate our “Epicurean Revolution” at Naomi’s Garden of the Poets with our sweet Caribbean music, our spicy food and the nectar of our rum. Welcome to the Jungle. Hey, only banana-eating lions are admitted…
Naomi’s Garden at 650 NW 71st Street. http://123radio.com/
$10 at the door. Of course, it includes the rum, or whatever you want…

Well, the party is over and it was a noisy success. It was filmed by Lonely Planet TV, but I can tell you that there was a cultural Haitian dance, nice world music performed by Rara, and, of course, great spicy food.
By the way, the 2nd Banana Party is coming soon, so let the whole zoo know...

GLOBAL WARNING
Looking for love
Stand up and be counted
Never let them chop us down
Global warning
Cause you got to know — oh yes
Stand up and be counted
Don't ever let them cut us down, hey.
The storm of life has come to
Wash away my fears
In dis ya sacrifice we make a change
The preservation of the ancient forest growing
Is our common goal to re-arrange
What about the wild life
Save them from extinction
Have a sense of purpose
Putting up resistance
Destroying earth was not Jah's plan
It's the work of man
Global warning
We servants of creation
Mother nature calls
A weeping clouds above with a acid rain
The smell of the pollution poison in the water
Oh help us save our world from so much pain
Give me a reaction
For some satisfaction
Not into submission
Dis ya revolution
You're just as guilty standing there
Come show me that you care
Global warning
A message of hope
Stand up and be counted don't ever let them chop us down
A plea to humanity
To stop this insanity oh
It takes you and me
To make a change
We talking solidarity
To have some authority
It takes you and me
To bring about — a change, a change, a change
change, change
Global warning
Cause we've had enough
Stand up and be counted
Don't ever let them chop us down
Never let them
Never let them
Global Warning
