His powerful singing stemmed directly from the rhyming tradition created by Bahamian sponge fishermen early in the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe music is punctuated by Spence’s unique, sometimes otherworldly vocalizations including humming, short bursts of lyrics, and near-scat singing. Some of the recordings include singing by Spence’s sister Edith Pinder and her family members Raymond and Geneva Pinder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducer Peter K.
