Short Story Telling of Tellabration, Bahamas Through The Ages
Overview
Bahamian people are known to concoct a great story, owning an inherent talent for embellishment, comedy, and irony. Immerse yourselves in the culture as an authentic sing-song lilt drives your imagination with a splash of words and ways you will only find in The Bahamas. The island's classic fables will be sure to delight you. The bonus and the beauty is that these stories are something you can experience, and then share.
If you take every local tour or attraction you will still find that you lack what’s at the heart of the Bahamas’ culture, and you will only garner snippets of this and that. You won't know our ways, secrets, the island’s off-beaten truths, kapunkled-up words, and our juicy stories.
From our Tellabration's treasure vault, our guests will select the story and sit for this mesmeric selection of what we call 'true, true, Bahamian.'
