We’re celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Windrush’s arrival with a special episode and some very special guests!
Kicking off with music, 1Xtra Talks host Richie Brave - who is of Guyanese heritage - takes De-Graft on a timeline tour which explains how influential sounds from the Caribbean helped create modern music genres such as jungle, grime and drill.
Did you know that the words barbeque, hurricane and peng came from the Caribbean? You might have guessed that last one… but some common words became a part of our vocabulary via the Windrush generation. De-Graft gets into this with Kia Fullerton a journalist and producer, whose family is from Grenada and St Vincent. Kia curated an exhibition at the Museum of London on the history of Caribbean languages.
