Thread Name: Singing In Dialect
Subject: RE: Singing In Dialect
There's a Jamaican dialect version of "Banana Boat Song" titled "Day Dah Light" or "Day De Light". If I was singing that publicly (in, say, a school assembly, because my classmate invited me to perform onstage). I'd try to sing it as close to the original as possible.(That's mostly because I have a knack for picking up people's accents after a while).
