Ranky Tanky

July 17, 2019

This event occurred as part of the 19/20 Hop Presents season. This is an archived view.

Southern Gullah “low country” songs laced with jazz, gospel, funk and R&B.

19/20 Hop Presents

“Ranky tanky” translates loosely as “get funky” in the Gullah dialect of the southeastern Sea Island region, and that’s exactly what this Charleston, SC-based quintet aims to do. They add a jazz backbone to traditional Gullah songs, from children’s game songs to ecstatic shouts to heartbreaking spirituals. Strongly infused with West African rhythms, it’s music that “makes you want to dance and sing along with hope” (Afropop Worldwide).

“One of the greatest gifts of the year”
