The Source of Sound involves the material, the movement and the vibration of which music arises. Episode 54: Winti
In today’s episode we’ll listen to Winti and and similar Afro-American phenomena in the Caribbean. With the oldest recordings of Winti music in a Dutch audio archive from 1947, but also Voodoo music from the same period from the movie “Divine Horsemen” from Haiti and Santeria music from Cuba. But also from the seventies made by Maroons from Jamaica, who were once transported as slaves from Ghana via Fort Amsterdam or Kormantin and regained their freedom in Jamaica. But especially a lot of music from Suriname where elements of Winti can be found in all kinds of music genres. A sign of the all-encompassing and penetrating character of this Afro-American form of religion and spirituality.
