    Baní is a capital town of the Peravia Province, Dominican Republic. It is the commercial and manufacturing center in a region producing bananas and coffee.

    Overview

    The city of Bani is the capital of the Peravia province; its residents also know it as the home of poets. It’s only an hour’s drive west of Santo Domingo. The province’s population is relatively small with 169,865 people, and only 61,864 in the Bani metro area. This is a tightly knit community with families and neighborhoods dating back several centuries.

    Bani is a Taino word meaning “abundant water.” The area was named after an important Taino leader of the Maguana people. He was said to be one of Caonabo’s closest allies. But, it wasn’t until 1764 when a group of neighbors concerned with their security and safety came together to purchase a property large enough to build their own village in the valley of Bani. Historians set the sum of this purchase as that of “300 pesos fuertes” for a property called Cerro Gordo; the principals were listed as Francisco Baez and Bartolome del Castillo.

    Ōban

    An Ōban was a monetary ovoid gold plate, and the largest denomination of Tokugawa coinage. Tokugawa coinage worked according to a triple monetary standard, using gold, silver and bronze coins, each with their own denominations.

    The first Oban – Tenshō Ōban (天正大判) – were minted by the Gotō family under the orders of Hideyoshi in 1588.

    The Tenshō Ōban was equivalent to ten Ryōs, or ten Koban (小判) plates, with a weight of 165 g.

    Feed The Demons

    by: Pain

    Creeping and Cracking
    Baby don't look back, no one goes home tonight
    The evil we see and the evil we do
    Brings out the beast in me and you
    Waking up from screaming
    You think it's all in your head
    My my, it's a bad day to be alive
    It's crawling under your skin and feeds of your hate
    Just close your eyes and wait till the sun goes down
    You better stay awake
    The dark comes knocking so you better start running
    Fear the demon in me, Fear the demon in you
    Hear the voices calling you
    Shadow's tongue licking your flesh
    Rips the clothes clean of your body
    Strip you clean straight down to the bones
    You can't stay awake, You can't fall asleep
    He's coming for your life
    Don't wanna wake up dead, you know you're over your head
    There ain't no turning back
    You better stay awake
    The dark comes knocking so you better start running
    Fear the demon in me, Fear the demon in you
    Laying in sweet tears
    Dreams are turning into a living hell
    The nightmares you see and the terror you feel
    Takes a turn for the worse and becomes real
    You better stay awake
    The dark comes knocking so you better start running
