This season, as we visit the Caribbean, we’re going to enjoy the heck out of Afro-Caribbean drums.
The most revered in Caribbean musicians are known for acknowledging, and advancing, the “New World” fusion of European and African music. While ample genres in the Caribbean bond the musical legacy of Africa with that of European countries like France, England and Spain, other genres of Caribbean music do seem to directly channel the African soul through glorious, driving beats. Take time to enjoy this video tour of African-inspired Caribbean drumming and dance to see it in action.
