This episode sounds like Barbados, literally. Hear the story of the Tuk Band, the unmistakable heartbeat behind festivals and celebrations. Born from African roots and remixed on plantations when drums were forbidden, its rhythm found a way, brought to life with whatever instruments were at hand. Now, the Tuk Band is a powerful symbol of defiance and joy pulsing through the island’s culture.
