The 1939 entry on the Trinidad and Tobago page draws on fieldwork on the island of Trinidad. The American Folklife Center lists Anansi tales and story songs alongside children’s games and other songs recorded during the same project. The collection offers a dated point of entry into oral performance on the island.
