Winston Fleary & the Big Drum Nation Dance

About this title

Carriacou is a13 square mile island of about 6000 people in the Caribbean. Winston Fleary was the culture bearer of its drum music and dance tradition. He asked us to make the film because he had no person to whom he could pass his knowledge in the way elders taught him. He set the agenda for filming what was essential to know aesthetically and culturally about Big Drum.
