Travel to Cat Island to discover the roots of rake and scrape, the local music style Bahamians call their own. After a beach-side performance by traditionalists, Bo Hog and the Rooters, head to Grand Bahama in search of Stileet, a new generation rake and scrape singer, who is bringing an urban attitude to the style. Then, explore the roots of spiritual music with a fireside performance by multigenerational a Capella group, The Region Bells. From there, Shabak, the most popular contemporary gospel group in the Bahamas, gives an uplifting performance in a beautiful 17th century cathedral.
