About this piece
Junkanoo is a thread that binds the ancestors to here and now. A story fire runing turning goatskin drums into an instrument of story telling.
The thunder, The ching - ching of cowbell.
The piercing blare of conch shell horns that wake the ancestors.
The thread continues with every beat of the drums
Wearing an endless tapestry.
