Sit down conversation with Erin Knowles the director of Junknaoo In Paradise. 

In this riveting original musical produced by the Roots Junkanoo Group, Tony, an entertainer at a local hotel, is charged with a decision to create music without the sweetness

and soul of a goatskin drum — or be fired. 

In his contemplation, the drum takes him on a thrilling, colorful, and heartwarming journey through Bahamian history — from slavery to celebration — advocating for its voice to be heard.

Tony is ready to risk it all for the love of Junkanoo. Are you?
