Hosay - Night of flags

This is the first night of the Hosay processions on the streets of St. James, Trinidad and Tobago. There are three families who celebrate the Day of Muharram. A procession that began at 11pm on the quiet streets and echoed the rhythms of the Tassa drummers surrounded by a small but alert audience.

The clip shows a synopsis of the evening from the three Muslim families. Note the energy and compassion from the drummers.

I am a Hindu living in Trinidad and i respect my muslim brothers and sisters as they respect us. And as Hosay in Islam is recognised in Trinidad like anyother religious festival I think u should have some respect. Just as we Hindus have kept major festival such as Diwali and Phagwa alive (which are now national holidays in trinidad) I am proud of my Muslim Brother's that also kept their tradition and culture alive. Trini 2 Dbone!

You people are confused. Are you doing this in the name of Islam. Furthermore, at the end of the clip you see two chaps doing a disco dance. Is this what our prophet Mohammad (SAW) be proud of.

This video brought back lots of memories. My first Hosay away from home and the streets of St. James. I enjoyed the video and as always the Tassa.
