| | Belize traditional Creole (Kriol) Christmas Bram and Brokdong in Gales Point Manatee, Belize District |
 | | The lyrics are in the Kriol (Creole) language which has a distinct African grammatical structure, with most words borrowed from English, and some from Irish, Mesquito Indian, Spanish and Maya. |
 | | The various Belizean cultures have their traditional music, and the Brokdong and bram are truly original of the Belize Kriol. |
 | | The concinnity of lilting verses heartily sung by the group and the instruments maintaining the beat cuts deep into your soul; and whether you are adult or child, Belizean or other, you are compelled to join in the celebration. |
