The Caribbeans who Love Country Music

Megamix

Available for over a year

In St Lucia, more people tune into love ballads from Nashville and Tennessee than they do homegrown reggae. Even their president, Dr Kenny Anthony, loves nothing more than dancing to Country & Western classics. We take a trip to the Caribbean island to find out why its people – young, old and all those in between – are so passionate about C&W music. Also on the show, the young tourists seeing London from a big red bus; and how young black and Asian people really view living in Britain.
