Nothing new here, everything new here. Interview in the late 1920s with the last survivor of the last (illegal) slave ship to America, the Clotilde (50 years after the Atlantic slave trade was outlawed in the US). The man, Cudjo, was 19 when he was enslaved so had good memories of his life and customs in Africa. Probably best to listen to this to get the feeling of Cudjo's voice and rhythm.
