The Carolina Chocolate Drops are a group of young African-American stringband musicians who play the rich tradition of fiddle and banjo music in Carolinas’ piedmont. Members Rhiannon Giddens, Dom Flemons and Justin Robinson strive to carry on the legacies of countless black musicians who have passed beyond memory and recognition, all the while remaining true to their own unique style. Each member brings something different to the table, but collectively, they draw their musical heritage from the foothills of the North and South Carolina. With their beginnings grounded under the tutelage of Joe Thompson, of Mebane, NC - said to be the last black traditional string band player - they strive to carry on the long-standing traditional music of the black and white communities. They strike a chord with the American public by keeping innovation at the front of their minds and tradition deep within their hearts.
