Special Screening: Bringing Caribbean Sounds to the North Country

Join us for a special screening of Bringing Caribbean Sounds to the North Country, a WPBS original film that celebrates the joyful energy of the River Rat Rhythm Project Steel Drum Band. This documentary follows a unique community ensemble of nearly 50 members—from age 6 to 70—who come together from across New York’s North Country to perform the vibrant and uplifting music of the Caribbean.

Through traditional island tunes and contemporary arrangements, the River Rat Rhythm Project creates a musical experience that transcends generations and geography. This film highlights their dedication, talent, and the transformative power of music in building community and cultural connection.
