African American roots reaching back to before the American Revolution, the underground railroad and slavery, and gospel traditions almost 200 years old. Think you have a hunch where North Americana is going this episode? You might be surprised.
Twenty minutes drive due east of downtown Halifax, on Canada’s Atlantic Coast, over the MacDonald Bridge through Dartmouth and beyond, we find North Preston and some of Nova Scotia’s oldest music traditions. Visitors might expect to hear the lilt of a celtic fiddle, but this is something entirely different.
In this episode, we explore the rich and often surprising stories of shared Black history north and south of the Canada/US border.
