Title
'Mass Carib' at the Albany
Description
'Mass Carib' by Felix Cross at the Albany Mass Carib is a subversion of the Catholic Latin Mass and, in its original iteration, tells the story of African enslavement and forced conversion to Christianity in the Caribbean, followed by attempted revolutions and the final arrival of the descendants to England as part of the ‘Windrush Generation’. More recent versions have been adapted to commemorate various significant events and anniversaries. At various points throughout the piece, the text is sung in English, French, Spanish, French Patois, Yoruba and Latin.
