RANKY TANKY – ON TOUR 2019
Gullah Music of the South Carolina Coast

“Gullah” comes from West African language and means “a people blessed by God.” “Ranky Tanky” translates loosely as “Work It,” or “Get Funky!” In this spirit, this Charleston, SC-based quintet performs timeless music of Gullah culture born in the southeastern Sea Island region of the United States. From playful game songs to ecstatic shouts, from heartbreaking spirituals to delicate lullabies, the musical roots of Charleston, SC are “rank” and fertile ground from which these contemporary artists are grateful to have grown.

Afropop worldwide titled: “One of the greatest gifts of the year”.
Hans-Olav Solli / Molde Jazz Festival: "RT was a huge success!"
Jo Aichinger / Glatt & Verkehrt: "This show was amazing”.
