#TunesOnTuesday goes back to St Croix with a song I wrote for the Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their museum space in Frederiksted (also known as Freedom City). It was an honor to play "Twenty Years in Freedom City" for their fundraising festival in April!

Despite some of the Diaspora Wars we witness, Black Americans are important to anti-colonial movements in the Caribbean and countries we've immigrate like Canada, France, and the UK.

The original Tooter. 🐘
People think of the Caribbean, they often think only of Reggae, Dancehall, maybe Soca if they're aware of it. A lot of our folks also grew up listening to the same Black musicians popular in the US. In addition to producing many of our own music genres, many artists have songs inspired by the Black American musicians they admired.

A song about Black unity across the Diaspora. Nationality doesn't count with Black folks, how we are one big family, separated when put on different slave ships.
How easily those of us descended from slavery could have easily been born in different countries. And that passports are a form of pigmentation to discriminate against.

"Give them their flowers while they're still here"
One thing that is difficult particularly with older songs, is finding lyrics. You also hope that someone digitized old tapes and records and uploaded it to youtube somewhere. Preservation of our histories is important, including our music.
