Religious Songs & Drums In The Bahamas- Religious Songs Bahamas / Various (CD)

In this collection of Religious Songs and Drums in the Bahamas, Marshall Stearns demonstrates the strong external influences on Bahamian music and culture. The religious music by the Baptist-Methodist Group and the Congregation of the Church of God suggest a certain influence of American gospel music, while the drumming of the "Ring Game," "Heel and Toe Polka," and "Jumping Dance" indicate a continuance of African drumming traditions with the scraping element of a saw, unique to Bahamian "rake 'n' scrape" music.

Tracklist:

  1. Walk And Talk To Glory
  2. Please Hear Me When I Call
  3. In The Upper Room
  4. Church Of God Congregation, Nassau
  5. Church Of God Congregation, Nassau (Alternate Version)
  6. Church Of God Congregation, Nassau (Alternate Version 2)
  7. Ring Play
  8. Heel And Toe Polka
  9. Fire Dance
  10. Jook Dance
  11. Jumping Dance
