Us and Them, a One Act Play

Derek’s gifts as a folklorist, musician, and storyteller shine on this tape of songs, riddles, and stories. Some of the stories he collected during his adult life, and some he grew up hearing as a young boy in Nassau. Rich with African and European influence, this collection features several such about B’Rabby, “the Trickster,” and B’Boukee, “the Fool.” An extra treat is Derek’s telling of several riddles? All in the lilting rhythm of his native Bahamian dialect.
