Show Notes
Dr. Neil Vaz and Trent Tomengo discuss West African spirituality and its influence on the development of African diasporal cultures that resulted from the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The co-hosts address the power of the drum and why it was banned along with certain African-based spiritual traditions. Nevertheless, these ancestral expressions ultimately survived and continue to thrive in Black cultures all over the world.
