From a book of Barbadian folk song, “Speightstown People” is a melody my mother remembered singing as a child. Speightstown is my mother’s hometown. It where King Cuffee was executed. “Bajan Coromantees” quotes the folk song. The piece is organized by facts in Hilary Beckie’s’ book. Come today to hear the premiere, 7 PM Harlem School for the Arts. @harlemchamberplayers#barbados#bajan#kingcuffee#chambermusic#newmusic#akanculture#blackcomposers#caribbeanhistory
