Dutch-Speaking Creolization
Hello Friends and Welcome Back! Today, we are going to cover what types of Creolization happens in the Dutch Speaking Caribbean. In the textbook , " Tour de Force" chapter three there are a few examples of Creolization. One example that stood out to me is the creation of string bands. What makes this a topic of creolization is that as the book states, " evolved from the ensembles that played European dance music...... Enslaved domestic workers often played in these ensembles; their participation contributed to merging of the melodies and instruments of Europe with the rhythms and playing styles of the Caribbean region." This means that string bands came from the combination of European Dance music and playing styles of the Caribbean. Google. (n.d.). String Bands .
