It was Improvisational music for dance parties or Frolics. Some of the ideas sound very funky and very modern.” Henrique Prince
As one of the last black string bands in the country, the Ebony Hillbillies take great pains to capture the traditional sound, all the while contributing their individual artistic experiences to the improvisational mix that becomes irresistible dance music looking toward the future…19th Century meets 21rst Century.
