How many people do you know who traveled into the inner city. Ameriicans when they came her they stayed in the areas that had the hotels largely and still do but the natives were always in that area singing their songs while working.

You have this belief that because bay street is main area for tourism that the songs are somehow designed for tourist. You have to be a silly American to think something that naive. Junkanoo is a Bahamian parade that was taking place downtown since even before emancipation of slavery in 1834. Earliest reference date to the 1820's now for you, Junkanoo is a tourist product and not Bahamian because it happens on Bay street. SMH.
