Garifuna songs transmits stories, humour, wisdom, and advice for day to day life. This cheeky song paints a colourful picture of a Garifuna man living in America who comes back and shows off, bragging, looking for the ladies to notice him. The market is full of temptations…The singers warn “Don’t send your pet dog to the market, there’s a lot of bones, he might not come back home.”
