    Major things happen every day, but with the passage of time, we often forget or simply move on to the next big thing. What things have happened in Barbados’ past, especially in the last century, that have shaped the island we know now? In the first season of Our One Sixty Six we explore the origins of Crop Over, a festival that’s synonymous with Barbados and its sugar-laden colonial past.

    It’s been said that Crop Over fell away at some point in the 1900s, but what if that’s just a single story? What practices did we keep as Crop Over moved from the shadow of the plantation? What traditions remain?

    We conclude our discussion with Dr. Marcia Burrowes as she shares with us how we continued to fan the flames of Crop Over celebrations through the centuries.
