Music of The Bahamas tells the story of the origins of Bahamian folk music from the days of slavery to the mid-20th century. Originally devised for presentation at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1991, the production is an adaptation of E. Clement Bethel’s master’s thesis in ethnomusicology brought to life on stage. Directed by Marcel T. Sherman, with musical direction by Adrian Archer and choreography by Ricardo Christie.
