According to Prof. Rosanne Adderley from Tulane University in New Orleans we, the Rada community in Belmont, have been drawing attention and studied since at least the 1870s. That’s just a few years after the compound was established 1868. However, one of the first books published with some information on us was Trinidad Village by Melville and Frances Herskovits published in 1947. The Herskovits apparently recorded some songs but the quality was quite poor. However, we are still hoping to find it.
