Joseph Spence was one of the most unusual guitarists of all time. He sounded unlike any other musician in his native Bahamas, yet his music reflected the real character and the local traditions of his own community. These informal sessions recorded by Guy Droussart in the 1970s feature Spence performing his syncopated renditions of hymns, quadrilles and popular songs, filled with endless melodic variation.
