- Summary:
- In the summer of 1958, Samuel Charters and Ann Danberg travelled to Andros, a remote island in the Bahamas. Living within the small local community descended from Bahamian slaves, they discovered how the rich historical fusion of disparate cultures on Andros, from Africa and Europe, had resulted in a distinctive musical confluence that has endured over the centuries.
