专辑简介
我们的祖先游到岸边展示了来自非洲圣多美和普林西比岛屿的安哥拉克里奥尔语 （N\’golá） 人士很少听到的音乐。5000 名居民中有许多是逃脱的安哥拉奴隶的后代，正如他们的民间传说所说，这些奴隶在海岸附近遭遇海难后游到岸边。“Gola”在历史上一直被用作圣多美的蔑称，其使用者被广泛认为是最低等的阶级;今天，大多数人都是渔民。《Our Ancestors Swam to Shore》由格莱美奖得主 Ian Brennan 和意大利裔卢旺达电影制片人/摄影师 Marilena Umuhoza Delias 制作，作为 Ancestor Sounds 的伴侣，Ancestor Sounds 是阿拉巴马州非洲城前奴隶后代的田野录音集。圣多美的 N\’golá 音乐家将独木舟和渔具等常见物品重新用作乐器。在 Our Ancestors Swam to Shore 中，音乐的力量超越了旋律、和声和乐器，成为一种超然的力量，以对未来的点头讲述一个民族的历史。
