THE TRADEWINDS ~ Wong Ping

[@Ubarcus-sl6nq]

R I P Dave Martins, from St Lucia 🇱🇨 with love. I grew up with this music ❤

[@jagriv5659]

Glad I have their CD and play these songs occasionally.

[@enkupanambur]

I love this so much... the legendary Tradewinds... Miss you Guyana...

[@LeithYearwood]

+Raj D - ''Chinee brush'' is a colloquial slang term in Guyana meaning a desensitizing or numbing liquid which men rub on their penis before having sex to make their erections last long. All races used it in the old days and it was sold by the chinese in their grocery shops. It is not a racial term for those who understand the reference. The entire song is innuendo referring to the use of this orgasm-delaying liquid sold by the Chinese in Guyana. By the way to ''brush'' in Guyana and the West Indies is another slang meaning to have sex. Most older Guyanese West Indians like Dave Martin know and understand the term and do not think it racial at all. In Trinidad they call it ''black stone'' and ''stud''. The term ''chinee blush'' in the song is in reference to the difficulty native chinese speakers have pronouncing the 'r' in 'brush' which comes out sounding like an ''l' as is also heard in the word ''velly'' meaning ''very'' in the songs lyrics ''chinee blush velly velly good''. Wong Ping say " you never 'blake" meaning you never break".

Only the tradewinds can produce this kind of music, the best group ever even each come from different Caribbean islands.

+Nelson David Algueida Your government signed on and agreed to the boundaries set by the 1899 Tribunal and lived happily with the agreement for decades. There was no ''usurping'' of land when you signed an AGREEMENT and settled the border position to the satisfaction of ALL parties by an agreed and binding Tribunal.

What are you such a stupid person ,there is nothing rasist in the song i like it .don,t be ashamed buy a bottle and try it at home.It takes all your shame away.THE ONLY THING YOU WILL HEAR IS BRUSH ME BRUSH ME.

[@andreh1969]

Is what wrong with you, nothing racist about that song, is something to make you last longer.

[@thetraveller334]

There is nothing racist about this song. Those of use who had the privilege of living in the West Indies know that there is nothing racist about this song. If you took the time to listen to the words, the Tradewinds' music is a great way of learning and experiencing the cultural identity of Guyana and the West Indies.

[@Doofitz]

@@thetraveller334 I am West Indian. There is nothing "funny" about making fun of anyone's culture, way of speaking, or using traditional tropes about our Chinese citizens. Especially in these days of anti-Chinese sentiments in Guyana and around the world. The song was racist then, and it is even more racist now. It is sad that you do not see this. Education can only go so far, you need to take yourself across the road as well.
