Spirituals and Shout Songs from the Georgia Coast

The McIntosh County Shouters
Spirituals and Shout Songs from the Georgia Coast

Renowned upholders of the African American ring shout, the McIntosh County Shouters keep the faith, form, and fervor of the generations-old tradition rooted in the Gullah/Geechee region of coastal Georgia. Songs from the shuffle-step devotional movement called “shouting” have historically been used to resist slavery, strengthen spirit, and create moments of emotional communion that are a model for future generations. Here, with percussion and voice, the McIntosh County Shouters bring classic shout songs and spirituals powerfully into the present.

The collection is part of the African American Legacy Series, co-presented with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
