Set in Trinidad—the epicentre of Carnival—this story follows young Nikoli as he discovers the hidden history behind the bamboo instruments that once saved a people’s sound. When colonial rule banned African drumming, the people turned to the land. What they created wasn’t just music—it was defiance, survival, and celebration in one.
Through Nikoli’s eyes and his grandfather’s wisdom, you’ll hear the rich history of the Tamboo Bamboo tradition: how it rose from oppression, evolved into steelpan, and now lives on in modern Carnival culture.
This is more than a history—it’s a heartbeat.
