Caribbean Folk Song workshops were led by Ethno Vox’s Colin & CeCelia Anderson, in partnership with the Caribbean Social Forum at Tramshed, Woolwich.
The workshops were inspired by the rare Caribbean songs featured in our period drama TURNING POINT. TURNING POINT’s sound design features our own original interpretation of the unique, scarcely-known and deeply poignant “”Barbados Slaves’ Work Song”” (c. 1780). You can find out more about the song and listen to it on our research page below.
Workshops will culminate in a public performance to commemorate Slavery Emancipation Day on 1st Aug.
