An Antillean legend from the times of slavery. Based on the poem “Balada di Buchi Fil” by Pierre Lauffer, about the strongest slave that ever lived. Only when they sold his beloved wife Mosa Nena, did his heart break. He commits suicide by jumping offa cliff and sometimes the wind carries his last words: Mosa Neeeeena, Mosa.
