Music Voyager - Season 6 (2015)

Music Voyager travels into the heartland of Georgia to understand the culture, arts and people that have helped create the 'sound' of America. Today, musicians such as Kishi Bashi, The Whigs and Otis Redding III call this region home.

The Music Voyager team delves deep into the Georgian heartlands, where spirituals, gospel and the blues laid the foundation for American pop music. Along the way, we meet Freedom Singer, Ms. Harris, and head to Ma Rainy's house.

Jacob and the Music Voyager crew travel to Nassau, Bahamas to experience the thrill of the Junkanoo celebrations, and visit the Junkanoo Expo Museum to check out some interesting historical artifacts.

Music Voyager explores the local music scene on Cat Island in the Bahamas. Hear performances by traditionalists Bo Hog and the Rooters, the more modern Stileet, the spiritually motivated Region Bells, and the gospel group Shaback.

Music Voyager looks at the impact Bahamian music has made on popular music in the Bahamas, as well as around the world.
