We hold the distinction of being the only practicing Rada community in the western hemisphere. Scholars who have studied our community and Dahomean customs conclude that we “have succeeded in preserving a remarkable purity of strain.” Credit should be given to the subsequent generations for keeping the traditions alive, especially to Abojevi/Robert Antoine’s son, Henry. Henry was also the primary source of information for Andrew Carr’s book, A Rada Community in Trinidad which was the impetus for further research on us.
