This project follows the evolution of Indo-Caribbean music in the diaspora with a specific focus on New York City and Indo-Trinidadian influences of artists like Drupatee Ramgoonai in local cultural hubs like South Ozone Park and Richmond Hill. It examines the long-term impact of systems like indenture on music by focusing on its service as a psychological tool for cultural expression and forms of resistance against assimilation, colonialism, and post-colonial pressures. This project contains oral histories from second-, third-, and fourth-generation Indo-Trinidadians, describing the role that music has played in each of their lives and highlighting the uniqueness of their experiences.
