Hi Mark, In recent times I have noticed that the Jamaican wake is becoming more and more interesting.
When I was a child, there used to be 'singing' where people would gather and sing songs and drink cofee/tea. It was in fact called "singing".
Also, in those days, the community supported the bereaving family with food supplies. Now, the tradition is expanding to include a big music band and support in the form of food items is extinct.
Let us start a dicussion on wake to examine what it was like 50yrs ago and compare it to what currently obtains.
Sharmaine.
