Good to know
What “Sleep Now, Lil Vincy” Means
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is made up of Saint Vincent and thirty-two smaller islands and cays, the Grenadines, watched over by La Soufrière, an active volcano at its northern tip. This original lullaby, using 'Vincy,' the local nickname for its people, borrows both the volcano and the scattered island chain.
