Penelope Casasola: The Bruk Down Band is "Los Melodios" they were popular back in the day for private parties and Belview Hotel events. My uncle Eddie Casasola plays the mouth organ. Mr Betson beside Dr. Leroy Taegar. Clive Casasola is my father. They had fun, I used to dance to their music.
Jean Burn Yates:
My dad, George W. Burn, was the spokesperson for this group. Eddie Cassassola was his great friend. There he is standing between Eddie and right behind the guitar player. I was not living in Belize when this band was formed but I knew it was great fun for my father. A tribute to these fine Belizean men. They were the best.
