Listen: Ranky Tanky on Mountain Stage

Ranky Tanky are a South Carolina based band that specializes in “Gullah” music- a style born out of the coastal region and influenced by West African traditions. Here’s the band’s take on the American folk song, “O Death,” for our Mountain Stage Song of the Week.
