Music of The Bahamas - Rake 'n' Scrape Rake 'n' scrape music is reported to have its roots in Cat Island, but evidence shows that that music was being developed in various islands simultaneously. Today, Rake 'n' Scrape music is almost identical to 'rip saw' music of the Turks and Caicos Islands (a territory off the southernmost island of The Bahamas), which chose to remain under British rule when the Bahamas sought independence in 1973. Traditionally, rake 'n' scrape music is used to accompany the Bahamian Quadrille and the Heel and Toe Polka dances. mail.vandercook.edu /~cjustilien/Paper/rkeNscr.html

Music of Turks and Caicos Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia There, rake and scrape is closely associated with Cat Island, the home of many expatriate Turks and Caicos islanders who moved there looking for work in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. Ripsaw is also known in the Bahamas, or at least a closely related style called rake and scrape. The saw is scraped with a metal object, such as a screwdriver, to produce a unique sound; this is called ripping the saw [1]. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Music_of_Turks_and_Caicos_Islands

general.aspx?sectionid=23148&level=2 Typically, rake and scrape bands had a drum fashioned out of a pork barrel and goatskin, a carpenter's saw that was scraped with a metal file, maracas, rhythm sticks and a homemade bass violin (a washtub with a string through it that was tied to a three-foot stick). Rake and scrape bands have been playing goombay music since the time of slavery, when African slaves had few resources to create musical instruments. Traditionally, rake and scrape music is used to accompany the Bahamian Quadrille and the Heel and Toe Polka dances -- another example of how African and European influences have blended together. www.bahamas.com /bahamas/about/general.aspx?sectionid=23148&level=2

eventdetail.aspx?eventid=62838 Rake and Scrape music is said to have originated in Cat Island, where the locals are renowned for their ingenuity at using the materials at hand to make whatever they need. Traditionally, rake 'n' scrape music was used to accompany the Bahamian Quadrille and the Heel and Toe Polka, forms of dance that can still be seen today during cultural celebrations. For example, musicians would combine a piece of wood, some fishing line and a worn tin tub to create the bass instrument in a "rake 'n' scrape" band at a local nightclub. www.bahamas.com /bahamas/events/eventdetail.aspx?eventid=62838

3evolchp40 On the inner part of the hind leg are a series of side combs used to scrape the body hairs of the bee—and gather together chunks of pollen. When the bee bends its knees, the jaws of the press open; when it straightens its leg, the jaws close, and the pollen is pressed and pushed up into the pollen basket—that shallow trough in the middle of the hind leg. The middle legs scrape off the middle of the body, reach up over the back. www.evolution-facts.org /Ev-V3/3evlch40.htm

283371802449483.php Rake 'n' scrape is a whole lot like zydeco in Louisiana; and Bookie is a Haitian invention. Junkanoo today is a far cry from what it was a couple of decades ago, and in rake 'n' scrape, electric bass guitars and saws have taken the place of the place of the tin tub bass and washboards. It's conch, it's fish-and-grits, it's Junkanoo and rake 'n' scrape and steam pork chop on a Thursday afternoon when you hungry-hungry, and it's dialect and straw work and beating a goombay drum. www.thenassauguardian.com /print/283371802449483.php

Bahamas Golden Pages On-Line - Culture The traditional music of The Bahamas is goombay, which has in recent times also become known as "rake and scrape". As slaves had to be resourceful when devising musical instruments, traditional bands were comprised of drums made of beef, pork and lard barrels with goat skin, saws scraped with metal files, maracas, rhythm sticks and homemade bass violins. If you’re lucky enough to be in The Bahamas at Christmas or New Year’s for Junkanoo (see Junkanoo this section), the music that fills the streets is also goombay – just a louder, more boisterous version. www.bahamasgp.com /islp-culture.html
