It's called "Red Beans And Rice And Peas".
Twins across the Gulf of Mexico. Caribbean countries.
Same legacy in chains. Same staple on the dinnerplate. Same Bad/Rough-rough weather.
It shows in the music, too. Amplified across the water. Reflected.
Ska and R&B and Soul and Rock Steady and Reggae and Funk.
Inseparable.
