This drum was given to me by my grandmother when I was a baby. My grandmother, who was born in Turks and Caicos, moved to Haiti when she was 18 years old. There, she met my grandfather, who was a politician at the time. Unfortunately, due to the dictator Francois Duvalier, my grandmother was forced to leave Haiti and then moved here. Of course, she couldn't bring much at that time, but luckily, after contacting family members who were still there, she was able to get some things sent to her after a very long time. One of those things is this drum.
