So now you know. This should at least help ungrateful trinis to appreciate the late great "Dr. The Right Honourable Eric Eustace Williams." May his soul R.I.P.💝😇

To be realistic, back in the 20''s the lower classes on the island would have been largely invisible or seen only in subservient positions in service to the upper class.

Only the rich would have afforded a movie camera. Why use it on the lower classes ?

The owner of the equipment gets to chose what they wanted to capture on film. The heading though could have included the area. Whether Woodbrook,St Clair, Westmoorings etc. But to go back to my first point, the choice is solely that of the person who uploaded it😅 Fascinating footage. Love it!! Doh mind it doh look Trinidadianish😂

Thank God for the late great Dr Eric Williams for taking us out the British rule and for us to be a free and independent republic .

Nice video. The music does throw off the culture of the island a bit though. We were Spanish before 1797.

The calypso historian George Maharaj played some ole time kaiso on CHIN-FM Toronto back in the mid 1990s. He started with the first calypso recorded by a Trinidadian, right around the turn of the 20th Century, then worked his way up to the 1920s. Interestingly, the earliest recordings were all in French and Patois, with the transition to English recordings beginning around the WW1 years into the 20s.

@@DMajikMan thank you. I didn't know that. I noticed patois is almost gone from our culture now. My grandma spoke it but didn't pass it down. Now, it's a different sound again.

I was looking to see if they were going to show the whipping of slaves and indentured workers. As well as the horrible oppression of the non Brits. AHHHHHHH Shocks they didn't show, but Trinidad was nice in those days.
