Chant Down: Powerful Performance that Explores Traditional Caribbean songs

“Chant Down” is a powerful performance that explores traditional Caribbean songs and the anticolonial legacies that shaped ancestral percussive and chanting techniques. The collective chanting of the performers seeks to access the vibrational registers where the history of Black and Indigenous struggle is preserved.
