BackPax whisks you off to adventure on the Caribbean island nation of Trinidad and Tobago.  Land where the steel drum, “pan,” was invented; where Jombies and spirits thrill the imagination, and Ananci – that mythical, magical spider – spins his wondrous story web. Dance to the steel bands, listen to the griots’ tales, “lend hand” with the fishermen in Tobago, jump into the circle of life, “show your motion” with the Ring Games of children at play, and meet Kenneth, our 12-year-old pen pal. It’s all here in a live-action visit to the land of Carnival!  Recorded on location in Trinidad and Tobago.  Perfect for ages 8 and older.
