The Taino myth of the cursed creator

Title:
The Taino myth of the cursed creator
Speaker:
Bill Keegan
Description:

Before the world of humans began, there was the world of the gods. Four brothers wandered this celestial realm. One day, the brothers snuck into a spirit's house and spotted a giant gourd hanging in the corner. But as they tried to look inside the gourd, they dropped it. It broke apart, releasing a deluge that formed a new world. Bill Keegan details the Taino myth of Deminan and the sea. [Directed by Franz Palomares, narrated by Adrian Dannatt, music by Carlos Palomares].
