Bashment to Bacchanale (BAH-kuh-NAL) walks us through music by some of the earliest non-Indigenous people in the Western world. Brought over through slavery, many tribes from the African continent carried with them hope, strength, and wonderful musical traditions that have influenced a lot of popular music today, especially in the Caribbean! Embark on this journey and let us introduce you to some popular music of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora through Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser’s own composition Hlonolofatsa Bacchanale.
