What “Hush, Hush, Lil Conch” Means
The Bahamas' liveliest tradition is Junkanoo, a festival parade of drums, whistles and costumes, while the conch shell is an everyday symbol of island life, eaten, blown as a horn, and sold by the roadside. This original lullaby borrows both, letting the drums fall quiet for the night.
