One of the strongest Jamaican traditions concerning death, is that of a wake, also called Nine Night or Set Up. Nine-Nights are no longer a time to mourn but a time to celebrate since the loved one is no longer suffering in life. When friends come they do not come with just condolences they come with food, drink and music; this is after all a celebration

  • This is not a video of a nine-night or setup event. This is a choreographed performance of dinky minnie.  Notice the uniform/costumes of the dance troupe.
