It's a Dog's World in Grand Bahama
Move over Baha Men. There's a new musical star in The Bahamas. It is the Bahamian potcake, "Amigo", who just starred in his own music video that was shot on Grand Bahama last week by a production crew right from Hollywood.
The video portrays the true "rags to riches" story of Amigo - a tragic little potcake stray found starving and diseased, who was rescued and rehabilitated and has since gone on to stardom.
The video is set to a recording by Bahamians Ronnie Butler and Sweet Emily, who also make appearances.
Frances Singer-Hayward, Amigo's owner and the brainchild of the project, said it is hoped that the music video will make people more aware and sensitive to the plight of unwanted animals. And she said it is a truly Bahamian story.
"I consider the story of Amigo to be what one would describe as an allegory - meaning that underneath the surface story, a hidden meaning and moral exists."
"Amiga was a poor, tragic little creature who would have been thrown away - but with love and nurturing became a prince, and that can be true, certainly of a child or any disadvantaged person or creature of this world."
"All it takes is love and that is the message I would hope comes through," Mrs. Singer-Hayward said.
