00:00They made a joyful noise in celebrating the life of a man who gave so much to the local
00:20arts and culture, Mr. Glen Dragon D'Souza.
00:23Family, friends, students and well-wishers all gathered at the Cochrite playing field
00:29to pay their final respects to a man who will be remembered by many for his compassion for
00:34the art form.
00:35Dragon used to take us all over Trinidad teaching us drumming and we were in Cochrite, Ujamaa
00:44and Dragon decided to come and open his own thing.
00:49He started Kilimanjaro with myself and Vivian as the drummers and Adana and Zizi was the
01:00only two members at the time.
01:04So the other day, we buy the thing, Dragon say, boy, I feel like we're going to start
01:08Moko Jambi.
01:09Vivian watched me, I watched Vivian.
01:10Dragon go on inside, he said, cut, what do you think, you think?
01:15Dragon build the stilts and the footpath, he strap up Zizi's foot up to his leg up
01:22here.
01:23Vivian said, this ain't looking like it going good at all.
01:27But the kind of person Dragon is, you can't laugh for him to see.
01:32We watch, we watch.
01:34He strap up Zizi and in holy honor, he put him up.
01:40He said, walk.
01:43And Zizi just walked forward and slammed his face on the ground.
01:47My contribution to the organization, thanks.
01:50Because after since being 11, I'm 45 now, I'm still here and I'm willing to carry it
01:56on to the next generation.
02:00Among those who turned out to celebrate the life of Dragon was Dragon's good friend, Austin
