Description of the content The Caribbean island of Culebra lies between the English-speaking Virgin Islands and Spanish-speaking Puerto Rico. Like other islands in the Caribbean, it is located as a crossroads of national, regional and global exchanges. Musicians from Culebra are inspired by regional and global traditions when creating their distinct island music. This film follows two music groups from the island of Culebra. The film explores the similarities and differences between the two groups with an intention to highlight some of the processes and relationships that produce and reproduce Caribbean island identities. This film was shot throughout a year of fieldwork research on the island and forms a part of a PhD project in Social Anthropology using Visual Media.
