Thanks so much for attempting the difficult task of tracking and documenting such an important part of our history and the evolution of the culture of the diaspora.

Nice viewing.

Ok, the commentary, while informative, pales in comparison, and drowns out the REAL value of this presentation--the MUSIC. Place the lame commentary into text, and play the music...which represents the true "cultural legacy" this video feebly tried to describe.
