[SAMPLE BODY TEXT] James "Jamesie" Brewster, born in 1929 in the US Virgin Islands is one of the most recognized names associated with quelbe music, also known as scratch music or quadrille. The music is an "indigenous, grass-roots form of folk music which originated in the US Virgin Islands", says documentary filmmaker, Andrea Leland. "It's a form of oral history, its lyrics are used to immortalize significant historical events, spread 'rude' gossip about one's neighbors, and relay the day to day trials and tribulations on a small island."
