Abstract:

The Carolina Chocolate Drops is a group of three young musicians--Rhiannon Giddens, Justin Robinson, Dom Flemons. The group has rediscovered and is keeping alive the traditions of African American string bands of the Piedmont. The group's name derives from a string band of the 1920s, \"The Tennessee Chocolate Drops.\"
