- This is an engaging television documentary of cultural celebration, conveyed through the rich performance of the African-American a capella singing quartet, "Women of the Calabash". The performers are set within a vibrant tapestry of vividly patterned African fabrics and prints, a visual accompaniment to the textures and rhythms of their music. Including South African protest songs, glottal breathing and bamboo tube stamping, the women's dynamic music is a resonant statement of culture, presented here in a compelling performance document.
