Carolina Chocolate Drops

Leaving Eden


With their Nonesuch debut, Genuine Negro Jig, which garnered a Best Traditional Folk Album Grammy last year, the Carolina Chocolate Drops proved that the old-time fiddle and banjo-based music they'd so scrupulously researched and passionately performed could be a living, breathing, contemporary sound. They didn't seek to merely revive songs from the past as much as freshly interpret them, highlighting the central role African-Americans played in shaping our nation's popular music from its beginnings more than a century ago. A Carolina Chocolate Drops (CCD) concert, the New York Times has declared, is "an end-to-end display of excellence... They dip into styles of Southern black music from the 1920s and '30s—string-band music, jug-band music, fife and drum, early jazz—and beam their curiosity outward. They make short work of their instructive mission and spend their energy on things that require it: flatfoot dancing, jug playing, shouting."
