This Barbadian Life - Five Minutes of Folk


Listen Later

Sometimes, the quickest way into history is through melody. Get ready for your "Five Minutes of Folk," as we dive into the stories hidden in old Barbadian songs. Discover tales of a Nigerian king’s exile, the mysterious Ice House fire, bread sellers fighting to make ends meet, and the relentless labor that turned sugar cane into survival. This is the history of an island, sung, not spoken. 

Produced by Shayla Murrell of our partner BGIS Radio.
