Abstract

This study focuses on the five known African-American topical songs dealing with the two hurricanes and ensuing floods that took place in Florida in the summer of 1928. The first is a commercially recorded blues song and the others are unreleased Library of Congress sacred recordings, which are transcribed and analysed here for the first time.
