Brooklyn, NY: Saturday, Sept. 5, 2009 - Guyana Cultural Association Presents it's Annual Folk Festival, see last nights' KWE-KWE happening held at the St. Peter Claver School Gym in Brooklyn, NY.
KWE-KWE is the traditional night before a wedding celebration which teaches the bride to be what to expect from her wedding night and the marriage ahead. It brings together the mature women of the families and the villages to teach her what she must and mustn't do... how she should respond and how to make a happy marrige for her and her husband. The groom must also find his bride in the crowd of celebrants, this enforces if he's a good choice, becasue if you can't find the bride how can you marry her???...
